Printing time that is associated with a historical bar list

[RISKYBUSINEZZ]

In case I answer this I think it will be beneficial for anyone in the future to know.

I am saving important bars into a list and then trying to print the time value associate with those bars. Using Print(string.Format(Time[Barnumber_Low[count]]) will not work because this will print the bars ago function. So I am looking for a way to print the bars associated with the stored bar number. If I figure this out I will post it here.

Okay so I have a few sections. The low and the high lists are identical except for the name.

//if Current trading day not equal to previous trading day. Clear the bar list
if(Daily_inquiry != New_Tradingday.GetTradingDay(Time[0]) || Daily_inquiry == null)
{
//count = 0;
Barnumber_High.Clear();
Barnumber_Low.Clear();
Low_Time_stamps.Clear();
High_Time_stamps.Clear();
Daily_inquiry = New_Tradingday.GetTradingDay(Time[0]);
}


//stores current bar for future comparisons
Barnumber_High.Add(CurrentBar);
High_Time_stamps.Add(Time[0]);

//prints every value in the list
for(int count = 0; count < Barnumber_High.Count; count++)
{
Print(string.Format("Possible high occurs at bar number " + Barnumber_High[count] + " which occurs on " + High_Time_stamps[count] ));
}

Hello RISKYBUSINEZZ,

Thanks for your post.

CurrentBar would be used to get the current forming bar on the chart. Time[0] would be used to get the current time of the current bar on the chart.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
CurrentBar: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...currentbar.htm
Time[0]: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...eries_time.htm

Unfortunately, using Lists in a custom NinjaScript falls under C# education which goes beyond the level of support we would be able to provide you with. To find educational information about using Lists in C#, you could do a quick Google search for something like 'using Lists in C#'.

Otherwise, this forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on this topic.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Yes, no worries. So the best way to store these values is to get Time[#] for the bar you need and store it as it is occurring in a list that is indexed at the same time you store the bar. In my case I had to adjust it to Time[#] to do some logic on the candles before storing the value.

So basically information stored in lists is the way to go for sure. I managed to get it working. I'll try and post the full code later.
