Time[0] returns price?

[e-man]

huh?

Print(CurrentBar.ToString() + ": " + Time[0].ToString());

returns:

...
4: 11826
5: 11833
6: 11828
...

in addition, this generates errors in the ninjascript editor:

int time = ToTime(Time[1]);

cf. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nt7/totime.htm

i'm using NT7 release 4.

please advise how to get the timestamp of a bar. my current task is to identify the duration of a candle (when using a non-time-based bar type such as a Range bar).

cheers,

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

This can occur when there is no data inside of Time[0]. The close price is simply substituted.

Can you provide full script of how your getting this so I can see where you have the Print Statement. As it needs to be inside of OnBarUpdate() etc.

I look forward to assisting you further.

thanks for the quick reply.

found my mistake; ended up setting local variables which did the trick. here is the working code:

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (CurrentBar >= 2)
            {
                int time1 = ToTime(Time[1]);
                int time2 = ToTime(Time[2]);
                int duration = time1 - time2;
                Duration.Set(duration);
            }
        }

cheers,
