on setting DateTimeSeries

[binwang2]

The help guide on DateTimeSeries.Set(DateTime value) states:

Setting a value on a DateTimeSeries object is automatically aligned to the current bar being evaluated. The example given is:
myDateTimeSeries.Set(DateTime.Now);

This example has no problem as Now is assigned to the current bar.

However, if the assigned value for DataTime is yesterday, then the current bar is assigned a time different from computer clock. Would this cause confusion?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean. DateTime.Now is your current PC clock time.

DateTime.Now is teh example given by the help guide. When it is set as yesterday such as DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].day-1, 1, 00, 00), then the current bar will be set as yesterday. It will conflicts with chart as the chart displays the current bar based on computer clock.

Still not following you. How does it conflict with anything at all? You created yourself a DateTimeSeries and you set values to this series as you see fit. If you decide to set yesterday's date to it, it will store that value.

A DateTimeSeries does not plot anything or change the timestamp of any bars.

Got it. Thanks.
