I am using Alphavantage as the datasource. When I run the strategy with 8/19 end date see hpimage1 and HPimage2 . However when I view the chart the data for 8/19 is there. (cannot capture the mouse over of the data but is 8/19 as the last bar. HPimage3

Highlight the DataSet in the Data Manager and click "Symbol details". Most likely, you'll see the Aug 19 bar is missing.

They are not. DNOW symbol shows 8/19 and show 8/18 in the Lists of alerts. See attached

Here is a better screen grab for HPimage3. Hopes this help.

Half of your data is up to 8/18 anyway. AlphaVantage's free service limits you to 5 requests per minute. That's why you'd even have to update the DataSet multiple times manually to complete. For daily data this is a suboptimal choice, Yahoo is much better. Give it a try and better not set your ending date that close: that's proven to be error prone. Rather set it to a future date like Dec 31.

I have tried Yahoo but they do not seem to update the data on a regular schedule. The other day they did not seem to have updated the data at 9:00 pm CDT. Any way around this problem? I will try the future date as well. Many thanks.

Yahoo data is updated regularly if you try it next morning. Market data corrections are factored in by then. Cone showed a good example of that:
