bar replay time

[junkone]

i used a work around to get the DateTime during barreplay so i can connect timestamp of specific events in my trading system during market replay. how can i do the same in NT8
here is a function i used in NT 7 but cannot fathom how to do it in NT8

private DateTime currentTime()
        {
            DateTime a = DateTime.Now;
            try
            {

                a = Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider == Cbi.Provider.Replay ? Bars.MarketData.Connection.Now : DateTime.Now;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {

                Print( "There was an error : Printfing datetime" + e.ToString());
                Print( e.StackTrace);



            }
            return a;
        }

Hello junkone,

For NinjaTrader 8, use Cbi.Connection.PlaybackConnection.Now.

how do I check if I am in a playback mode?

Hello junkone,

You can find the connection name through the OnConnectionStatusUpdate event with the ConnectionStatusEventArgs.Connection.Options.Name

Below is a link to an example.
