Re: date>date[1]

This is similar to a problem I posted a couple of months ago.  if
date>date[1] is used with a multidata chart running real-time, I was getting
very inconsistent results.  If an indicator has Update Each Tick turned off
and the data is Daysession only data, the following code should run only
once per day but it occasionally runs twice.  I think it has something to do
with if the first tick of the second bar comes from data2 instead of data1.
I gave up on it and instead use the end of the previous day for once a day
setups.

if date>date[1] then begin
   print(date,time);
end;
