How long since trade entry?

[freeway]

What is the easiest way to calculate how long it has been since the last trade entry (in minutes)?

freeway, depending on what kind of chart you're using, BarsSinceEntry() would probably work best. Another option would be to monitor OnExecution() for the most recent trade and keep track of the time OnExecution() was called.

BarsSinceEntry can give a time of entry but you can't subtract the integer times you get to get the difference between the current time and time of entry without doing a lot of manipulation (Or at least I don't know how to do it easily). My question basically is is there a way to subtract 2 DateTimes? I used the compare method to do what I want. I was wondering if there was another way. Seems like there should be built in method/property to subtract 2 date times.

DateTime Time0 = Time[0]; // current bar time
DateTime Time1 = Time[BarsSinceEntry()]; //time of entry bar

TimeSpan TimeDiff = Time1 - Time0;

freeway, you can take a look at our sample demonstrating various time manipulation ideas - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ad.php?t=19292.

Thanks, koganam. That is exactly what I needed.
