Time[0] doesn't change until new bar

[cassb]

I thought in NT7 that in the OnBarUpdate routine, if you have CalculateOnBarClose = false that Time[0] would always be the DateTime of the current tick. Instead, I am get the time of the bar open for every tick when using Time[0].

How do you get the time for each tick in NT8? Or is this a bug?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Assuming you are using a Time based series, the Time[0] would refer to the last closed bar or building bar of the Primary series depending on the COBC setting. Although each Tick calls OnBarUpdate the Time[0] still would refer to the same bar.

To get the individual tick times, you could either use OnMarketData to observe the MarketData, or add a 1 tick series. the Time[0] on a 1 tick series would represent the Ticks time as each tick would be considered a Bar.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

OK thanks, Jesse. I'll use the secondary bar series.

Only on bars that are NOT based on a fixed-time base.
