Hi! Two questions: 1. I am just doing some basic thing to make sure the indicator calculation result is correct. I pick these two: MACD(symbol_TSLA, 12, 26, 9, MovingAverageType.Exponential, Resolution.Hour, Field.Close); EMA(symbol_TSLA, 20, Resolution.Hour, Field.Close); The log file is here : http://data.quantconnect.com/backtests/16935/209033/59cb4a70f93a20e33274e5dc4de51d8a-log.txt The EMA calculation seems right. But MACD seems off. For example, in the log file: ... 2016-01-11 11:00:00 01/11/2016 10:00:00--TSLA-- 205.88900000000 2016-01-11 11:00:00 MACD -2.96667 But from hourly chart from TDAmeritrade, I see MACD is about -3.55. 2. Since I specify "Resolution.Hour", I expect the time stamp of data gets to OnData() should be 9:30, 10:30 .... not 9:00, 10:00, since markets starts at the half hour mark. But from the log the data arrives at the hourly mark 9:00, 10:00. Why? Thanks!
