B5 Execution.dbGet parameters?

[zweistein]

Hello,

I am trying to use the global function

DateTime t = DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime();

NinjaTrader.Cbi.Execution.DbGet(Account,t.AddDays(-2),t)

I get an error saying that the DateTimeKind is not set properly and that I have to specify a TimeZoneInfo as well, but there is no TimeZoneInfo in DateTime.

Do I have to use some timezone that NT8 uses internally for calculations? where do I have to find this?

How to call DBGet properly

Thank you

Andreas

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of such an item that would be available in NinjaScript let alone DateTime. I will look into this further and follow up with you here.

Please note that this is an undocumented feature and is subject to change without notice in future releases. I'll go ahead and make a note that this was a core method you were looking to use and treat your request as a vote for it to be documented.

The error is coming from the local time conversion. The NT DB uses the core globals date time zone which is configured by a user under Tools-> Options.

Therefore you could simply just use the NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.Now property for your DateTime object

DateTime t = NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.Now;

List<Execution> dbExecutions = NinjaTrader.Cbi.Execution.DbGet(Account,t.AddDays(-2),t).ToList();
