How to reference Date on a bar object

[market_student]

Can anyone help. I have intraday data displayed, but would like to reference and check the DATE of currentbar to a Bar N bars ago?

Thanx

ToDay(Time[0]) would give you the date of the current bar. ToDay(Time[5]) would give you the date 5 bars ago.

ToDay(Time[0]) would give you the date of the current bar. ToDay(Time[5]) would give you the date 5 bars ago.

Thanx. that would reference the CURRENT state. Will this be valid if doing Backtesting? ..... in other words, would the ToDay() be the date that the bar being tested on Historical Data?

Yes, it will work in backtesting. ToDay() returns the date of the bar you are checking.
