Compare bar date to todays date

[gregm]

I am sure this is on the forum someplace but what can I use to compare the bar date to today.

If ToDay(Time[0]) if the date of the bar (in ccyymmdd format), how can I compare that to see if the bar is today or a previous day. I want to display statistics on the screen and show various stats for just today (but I want to load the chart for the last week).

I know I can input a variable and compare against that but I am looking to just use the current date (and not have to change an input variable everytime).

Hello gregm,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum.

You can compare a bar to the current day by using Time[0].Date and DateTime.Today:

if (Time[0].Date == DateTime.Today)
{
//Do something.
}

For information on Time please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h....html?time.htm
For information on the DateTime structure please visit the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr....datetime.aspx

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
