Hello ren37,

Thank you for your post,

Individual range bars are created when the tick value is breached, at which point a new bar begins. See the below section of our help guide for more on bar types.

As a note, you can use the Data Box or Mini Data Box to view details on your chart with your mouse. The data box can be enabled from the chart tool bar or by holding down the middle mouse, or scroll wheel button when hovering your mouse over the price data.

I need this in NinjaScript.
Perhaps I can check prior range bar close time to know current bar open time? Or better to check FirstTickOfBar property and store time for that tick?

what do you think?

Hello Ren, and thank you for your question. I would definitely recommend using the Time DataSeries documented here,

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/time.htm

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/iseries_time.htm

If, for instance, you wanted to know the open and close times 5 bars ago,

DateTime openTime = Time[6];
DateTime closeTime = Time[5];

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.
