I want to express my thanks to those who offered advice and
solutions both on and off the list. Your advice did the
trick.
It's now clear to me that I was using the bar based [1]
which was coming from a 1 tick chart, *but* being used on a
1 minute chart. I should have known better, but as many of
you pointed out, the [1] is keying off of the 1 minute bars,
not the 1 tick bars.
Thank you for everyone who took the time to clearly explain
that--you've saved me many hours of anguish, and I do
appreciate that.
For anyone who's curious, I'm using Robert Linder's
PushPOP.dll to combine the tick based data with the longer
time based chart that I'm referring to above. So, on a
longer timeframe, I'm using the tick data to set a flag in
the bar, and after new bar starts, I'm using the time
comparison to clear that flag.
The solution, as suggested by Robert, is to Push the TIME
from the tick data to the Global Array, then compare the
last value (POPLAST) in the array with the current time.
That gets me around the Time<>Time[1] which is always TRUE
on a chart of 1 minute or greater.
