Time

[matt3m]

I am looking to do some debugging. I want the current time in HH:MIN:SEC format, (24 hour format would be great).

However, I can't seem to be able to do it in a nice easy fashion - just in some circuitous manner. Is there an easy way to do that?


Also, why is it that PrintWithTimeStamp and Time[0] print out to the next 5 minute bar?...i.e. if i have a 5 minute chart, and the current time is 8:43...it prints out 8:45

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

You will want to use DateTime.Now to capture the current system time.
Manipulating DateTime objects

Time[0] prints the stamp stamp of bars, which is the time the bar ended or is projected to end. More information here - How NinjaTrader builds chart bars.
