Now I'm getting some odd results. Maybe you can easily see what's going on here:
Code
// This Block of code records the first closing price after 14:30.
if (Bars.TimeValue.Hour == 14 && Bars.TimeValue.Minute >= 30 && m_MyBarFlag == 0)
{
Output.WriteLine("Hour: {0} Minute: {1} Data1 Close: {2} Data2 Close: {3} Settlement Price: {4} Bar Flag {5}",
Bars.TimeValue.Hour, Bars.TimeValue.Minute, Bars.CloseValue, BarsOfData(2).CloseValue, Bars.Close.Value, m_MyBarFlag);
m_settlementPrice.Value = (Bars.CloseValue - BarsOfData(2).CloseValue);
m_MyBarFlag = 1; // This marks that a value was recorded already.
}
if (Bars.TimeValue.Hour == 14 && Bars.TimeValue.Minute < 20) m_MyBarFlag = 0; // This resets the flag for the next day.
The Output of that code on 30 days worth of tick data:
Can you help answer these questions

The Output of that code on 30 days worth of tick data:
Hour: 14 Minute: 30 Data1 Close: 93.96 Data2 Close: 93.39 Settlement Price: 93.96 Bar Flag: 0
Hour: 14 Minute: 30 Data1 Close: 93.61 Data2 Close: 93.15 Settlement Price: 93.61 Bar Flag: 0
Hour: 14 Minute: 30 Data1 Close: 93.35 Data2 Close: 92.88 Settlement Price: 93.35 Bar Flag: 0
Hour: 14 Minute: 30 Data1 Close: 93.84 Data2 Close: 93.35 Settlement Price: 93.84 Bar Flag: 0
Hour: 14 Minute: 30 Data1 Close: 93.88 Data2 Close: 93.35 Settlement Price: 93.88 Bar Flag: 0
Hour: 14 Minute: 30 Data1 Close: 94.51 Data2 Close: 93.79 Settlement Price: 94.51 Bar Flag: 0
Why would there not be 30 lines written to output, and why is the settlement price not being calculated?
