HSI H8-hkf price problem

[whammer]

Hi,

I encounter a problem last night, this would be very difficult to reproduce I believe, but anyway I will try to explain it and perhaps someone could make some sense of it.

First of all, I'm using version version: eSignal 8.0 (Build 779), and HSI H8-hkf with 11 minute chart.

You'll find below the printout of close (roughly) when the efs is executed at the end of every bar.

3/27/2008 11:48PM SYM: HSI     P: 22905     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/27/2008 11:59PM SYM: HSI     P: 22964     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:10AM SYM: HSI     P: 22938     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 21241     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 20979     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 22045     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 21931     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 22108     Y: 2008     M: 3     
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 21926     Y: 2008     M: 3          
03/28/2008 12:21AM SYM: HSI     P: 21138     Y: 2008     M: 3 

What you see at the beginning is the Price printed at the correct interval and the correct price, but starting at 12:21AM ET, the price becomes wrong - drop of more than 5%. Furthermore, the efs was evoked many times during 12:21 which should only happen at the end of every bar. I have this program running for a month, it has never given me this problem.

I'm not sure if anyone would be able to duplicate this. Hopefully someone can give me a pointer to avoid this problem.

One solution I can think of is to make sure my efs only runs every bar interval, and for whatever reason, by some kind of mistake it is evoked outside of that interval, I will block it. Otherwise, I really don't know what else I can do.

You need to post your code for someone to try to duplicate the problem and to provide a pointer to resolve it.
Also provide details with regards to the setup of the chart (eg Time Template settings and any other information that may be useful)
