Hi!
I'm using the following code to detect the intraday High of Day.
But it seems that so many times it gets updated with a delay compared to the current price...
For instance if you take a look at logs:
2021-03-25 14:50:00 :Current AIG price 46.24002021-03-25 14:50:00 :Current HOD AIG price 46.1500Why don't we have the current HOD AIG price as 46.24, just as current AIG price?

Hi Emiliano Fraticelli,
The algorithm above subscribes to minute-resolution data for the securities, but subscribes the `_identity_x` indicators to use daily data. As a result, when we call
_identity_spy.Current.Valueintraday, the value corresponds to the HOD from the previous trading day.
To get the HOD price of the current day, we can:
#1 Create a class member
_spy_max = 0.0M;#2 Update the class member with each minute bar that's passed to OnData
_spy_max = Math.Max(_spy_max, data["SPY"].High);#3 Reset the class member at the end of each day
public override void OnEndOfDay() { _spy_max = 0.0M; }See the attached backtest for reference
Best,
Derek Melchin

Thank you Derek...
I implemented a solution by myself already that seems similar to one of the yours

But will consider yours, too. Thanks!

Hi Emiliano Fraticelli,
Yes, the algorithm above is similar to this one. But to get the true HOD price, we should replace
if (bars["SPY"].Price > highOfTheDaySpy){ highOfTheDaySpy = bars["SPY"].Price;with
if (bars["SPY"].High > highOfTheDaySpy){ highOfTheDaySpy = bars["SPY"].High;Best,
