Last TimeStamp Of Session?

[Srgtroy]

I'm interested in code that will figure out the last timestamp of the session. At the absolute last second of the session it will look for the last timestamp using the OnMarketData method.
Let's say the session ends at 14:00. Then at 13:59:59 it executes. I will be a simple loop that checks if there's a timestamp at a particular time value, if there is, the variable lasttimestamp is assigned that value, otherwise it checks for the next last second, on, and on, until it finds one. I understand the logic, but I'm not sure about the syntax.

Hello Srgtroy,
You can use the GetNextbeginEnd method to get the session start and end time. Please refer to our help guide to know more about it

You can further custom code it to suit your need.

This give me the "official" beginning and end times of a session, no? Not when the last trade actually executed.

Hello Srgtroy,
Thanks for the clarification.

You can simply get/store the value from the OnExecution event. A sample code will be like:

in variable

DateTime lastTrade;

in OnExecution event

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{
	lastTrade = execution.Time;

}

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not executing anything. I want the timestamp of the absolute last trade in a bar. Not my trade. Anyone's trade. The absolute last trade. The way ninja works, minute bars always end at 00. But this is not necessarily when the actual last trade occurred. That is what I am trying to determine and access!

Hello
You can then use the OnMarketData event to get the time. A sample code will be

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
	if (e.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Last)
		lastTrade = e.Time;
}

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
