Hi everyone,
I am trying to get the close price of the day, but as you can see I get 266.79 for the close of the 14th December 2017 but it's the close of the 13th December not the 14th.
Any idea ?
2017-12-14 00:00:00 : Time 2017-12-13 16:05:00
2017-12-14 00:00:00 : Close history symbol time SPY 2017-12-09 265.49 2017-12-12 266.34 2017-12-13 266.79 Name: close, dtype: float64
2017-12-14 00:00:00 : Close Today 266.79

self.Log('Close history {}'.format(close))
self.Log('Close Today {}'.format(close[-1]))
Thank you.

Close prices are always at the end of the time-step (begining of the next time-step).
2017-12-14 00:00:00 IS the close time for the 13th with a daily bar.

Thank you Jared.
If I understand it correctly, the close of the 14th will be available only after midnight ?

Yes, the close price is the last value we record before the day change.
