GetSessionBar() no longer working on Beta 21

[pmaglio]

I am having issues trying to replace the old function GetSessionBar() which most of my indicators and strategies were using ...

So, when trying to check if current bar is on same day than previous I was using
if (Bars.GetSessionDate(Time[0]) != Bars.GetSessionDate(Time[1]))


Now I changed to this :
if( Bars.GetDayBar(0).Time != Bars.GetDayBar(1).Time )

...and it works....but only on indicators...
What should be used on strategies ?

BTW : Why have u discontinued a funtion instead of just adding a better one ...?

Now I have a lot of errors to compile and no way to go back to previous version...

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

When doing this on my side here is the error I get in the log tab:

Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for strategy 'Hello/1308f0473b3e4e83baaf1e2d71d03bc7': GetDayBar() should only be used for accessing prior trading day data. To access current trading day data, please use the CurrentDayOHL() method.

Since your needing the current time use Time[0].Date instead for the Time[0] check.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks Brett,

The way of checking current bar is on different day than previous ( Time[0].Date != Time[1].Date ) works fine.
Question : To make my code backwards compatible with previous Ninja 7 betas and Ninja 6.5,
would that code produce the same results than Bars.GetSessionDate(Time[0]) ( like used on @PriorDayOHLC on Ninja 6.5 ) ?

Hello,

It did return the same results in my testing.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I cannot even compile original NT7 indicators, because of this error message. I'm using NT7 Beta 22 and this problem exists for some beta versions.
I want to create a new indicator, but I get this error message, when I want to compile it. What happens?
so I cannot even create an empty indicator...

[chrismasterlu]

Okay, I fixed it on my own. Delete the original indicator "@PriorDayOHLC" (and maybe: "@CurrentDayOHL" - I deleted both) and it works fine. then you can compile your own indicators again...

Hello,

I know you said you resolved the issue however here are the instructions to resolve this if this occurs again and for others to see.


Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader compiles all indicators and strategies- not just one.
Open NinjaTrader

From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
Select an indicator and double click on it.
A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
At the bottom of the window a new section will appear were you can find the error locations.
From there you have the option to remove the indicator or debug it.

Let me know what errors are listed here or take a screenshot. To send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CRTL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Same issue

Hi Brett, I am having this same issue. I have imported an indicator and doesn't work. Can you please advise what the issue is with:

currentDate = Bars.GetSessionDate(Time[0]);

I have the latest version, screenshot attached. Thanks. DJ
