Hello, I'm seeking assistance because I'm confused about the behavior of the code below. It returns identical values for both the current day and the previous day. Specifically, the values for price and price[1], as well as ema and ema[1], are the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Banya

Code:
input length = 21;
input Symbol = "SPY";

def Price = Fundamental(FundamentalType.CLOSE, symbol = Symbol, period = "day");
def Ema = ExpAverage(Price, length);

AddLabel(yes, "Price: " + Price + "Price[1]: " + Price[1] + " Ema: " + Ema + " Ema[1] " + Ema[1]);
 
It works as expected if you are on a Day timeframe chart. I can only assume that it does not find day aggregations correctly on intra-day charts. I tried several approaches and nothing seems to work.

This is perhaps a bug you can report to Schwab.

Code:

input Symbol = "SPY";

def Price = Fundamental(FundamentalType.CLOSE, symbol = Symbol, period = "day");
def Ema = ExpAverage(Price, length);

AddLabel(yes, "Price: " + Price + "Price[1]: " + Price[1] + " Ema: " + Ema + " Ema[1] " + Ema[1]);

agree with mashume, try a chart time smaller than day.
next time, add a bubble to see values on every bar, that will show you what is going on.
if you put separate things in separate labels, it makes them a lot easier to read.

Code:
# dayvalues

input length = 21;
input Symbol = "SPY";

#def Price = Fundamental(FundamentalType.CLOSE, symbol = Symbol, period = "day");
def Price = round(CLOSE(symbol = Symbol, period = "day"),2);
def Ema = round(ExpAverage(Price, length),2);

AddLabel(yes, "Price: " + Price, color.yellow);
AddLabel(yes, "Price[1]: " + Price[1], color.yellow);
AddLabel(yes, "Ema: " + Ema, color.yellow);
AddLabel(yes, "Ema[1] " + Ema[1], color.yellow);

Addchartbubble(1, low,
  "P: " + Price 
, (if price != price[1] then color.yellow else color.gray), no);
