Data window information and Journal data mismatch

Hi FF Guru's...

I'm a newbie at MQL4 coding and came across this issue where the chart details Data Window doesn't match the Journal output data for the RSI indicator.
I've been going around in circles for couple of days trying to find the answer to no avail.

This is my code below to try and capture the RSI value
Inserted Code
bool NewBar()
  {
   static datetime lastbar;
   datetime curbar=Time[0];
   if(lastbar!=curbar)
     {
      lastbar=curbar;
      return (true);
     }
   else
     {
      return(false);
     }
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert tick function                                             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTick()
  {
      if( NewBar() && Period()==5)
      {
         Alert(NormalizeDouble(iRSI(Symbol(),0,14,2,0),2););      
      }
}

Please see the attached picture with the sections highlighted in yellow.

Hoping someone will know the answer

Be sure your RSI on chart is set like the iRSI() function in the code ... especially the AppliedPrice.

BTW, look at the end of the Alert() function ... You doubled the ");"

Hi FerruFX,

Thank you for the quick reply.
in regards to the ");", I've copied and pasted the code from the editor and didn't take it out

iRSI() function in the code and the chart is set the same, but can't figure out what's causing the discrepancy.

In fact, you are sending the alert at the open of the new bar ... while the data window is showing the final value for this same closed bar.
