Finding Session Start Times

[tradinginzen]

I am having a heck of time here. I want to draw a fibonacci retracement over the most current trading days first 30 minutes. I think I have all the code down, but the Bars.SessionBegin always comes up as 2/15 instead of the most current date.

Here is my current code... can anyone help?

(I also know the high and low finding routine is hardcoded now for three periods, that is an issue I have not made it to yet)

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            DrawTextFixed("tempdate",Bars.SessionBegin.ToString(),TextPosition.BottomRight);
            this.m_bFibsSet = true;
            
            if(this.m_LastCurrentDate != Bars.SessionBegin)
            {
                this.m_LastCurrentDate = Bars.SessionBegin;
                this.m_bFibsSet = false;
            }
            
            if(!this.m_bFibsSet && CurrentBar != 0)
            {
                if(Bars.Period.Id != PeriodType.Minute)
                {
                    this.m_bFibsSet = true; //only plot this on minute charts
                }
                else
                {
                    int nBarLength = Bars.Period.Value;
                    
                    if(nBarLength > 10)
                    {
                        this.m_bFibsSet = true; //this is for 10-min charts or smaller
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //we only want the most current session
                        //if(    Bars.SessionBegin.Day == DateTime.Now.Day && 
                        //    Bars.SessionBegin.Month == DateTime.Now.Month &&
                        //    Bars.SessionBegin.Year == DateTime.Now.Year)
                        {
                            //we now need to find how many minutes have ticked by since the open
                            //how many minutes in a bar
                            int nNumBars = NumberOfMinutes/Bars.Period.Value;
                            
                            if(Bars.BarsSinceSession == nNumBars)
                            {
                                //find the high
                                double nHigh = Math.Max(Math.Max(High[2],High[1]),High[0]);
                                double nLow = Math.Min(Math.Min(Low[2],Low[1]),Low[0]);
                                
                                
                                DrawFibonacciRetracements("TheFib",2,nHigh,0,nLow);
                                this.m_bFibsSet = true;
                                
                                //DrawTextFixed("tempdate",this.m_LastCurrentDate.ToString(),TextPosition.BottomRight);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Actually I would like to be able to choose whether or not to plot the opening 30 mins with a fib or to take the prior day's low/high and plot a fib against the low/high of the open on the current day's first bar. Any advice?

Hi, unfortunately this is not supported - however have you checked this script from our sharing section, it may already deliver what you're after - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...&id=63&catid=1

Otherwise I can suggest debugging you code with those tips to check if the implemented logic delivers - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3418
