Time

Can someone tell me how in heck the code below the if flat and cmeRth=0 code could be executing before 850am.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			
			
			//PrintWithTimeStamp("cond2 = " + cond2.ToString ());
			//PrintWithTimeStamp("cmeRth = " + cmeRth.ToString ()); 
			cond2 = (CrossAbove( bClose(BarsArray[1],bCloseMult), EMA(Highs[1],bCloseSmaLen)[0],1) ? 1 : 0 ) ; 
			
			limitPrice = Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(Klose(BarsArray[1],1,1,1,1)[0]) - 
						(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(GMA(BarsArray[1],myPriceRangeLen)[0] * myPriceRangeFactor)); 
			cmeRth = ( ToTime(Time[0]) > 85000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 144500 ? 1:0); 
			//if (ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(08,50,00)) return; 
			
			
			if (BarsInProgress == 1)
			{
		
		//PrintWithTimeStamp("cme = " + cmeRth.ToString ()); 
			
			
		#region Long Entry
	
			if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && cmeRth == 1 )

neb1998, on what timeframe are you running this code? Tick or time based?

There must be some mistake: I do not see any such line in your code.

Bertrand, i am running on tick within market replay.

COBC = true

Then that could be the case neb1998, the tick based intervals would not exactly resolve to an integer timestamp, the bars would close whenever the building logic dictates - you would need to reformulate your time logic to take this into consideration.

Can you recommend a starting point, i know what you mean now since integers only work to the minute using ToTime. Will i just need to use regular c# time functions?

Hi neb1998, they would work down to the second -

'Integer representation of time is in the following format Hmmss where 7:30 AM would be 73000 and 2:15:12 PM would be 141512.'

But you would not know when the bar exactly ends on tick based charts, so try defining a time region and then return out of the calcs once the first occurrence evaluated 'true'.
