SessionIterator missing function

[DaveE]

SessionIterator.GetNextSession(...) allows iteration of sessions forwards in time from an artbitrary DateTime. Since if you give it a DateTime in a session break, it gives you the following session.

However as of RC2 there does not seem to be a method of iterating backwards in time from an arbitrary DateTime.

I suggest a new function GetPreviousSession(...). If you give it a DateTime in a session break it would give you the previous session.

Hello,

I wanted to reply back on this item. While I have submitted this as a feature request, It was brought to my attention that the following could potentially work depending on how you plan to execute the logic.

sessionIterator.CalculateTradingDay(new DateTime(2016, 11, 15), true);
                                    
DateTime tradingDay   = sessionIterator.ActualTradingDayExchange;
DateTime beginTime       = sessionIterator.ActualSessionBegin;
DateTime endTime     = sessionIterator.ActualSessionEnd;

Output would be then like -

Calculating trading day for Wednesday 16.11.2016 00:05:00
The Prior Trading Day 15.11.2016 starts at 15.11.2016 00:00:00 and ends at 15.11.2016 23:00:00

I look forward to being of further assistance.
