Native TimeStamp

[RJay]

I just learned today that there is a way to access the actual timestamp of each trade if provided by the data provider.

How do I access this information from inside the NinjaTrader code?

Thanks,

RJay

RJay, this entirely depends on the connected to provider and would it would offer - native vs local timestamping could be reviewed for each provider we support in this grid in our documenation -

With Time / Times you would access bar timestamps in NinjaScript.

Okay, How do I access this timestamp info. Do you have any coding examples of how to call both the vender timestamp and the local timestamp for a single update. Bid, Ask, or Last.

Thanks,

The timestamps you get for your bars are native on providers where this would be supported, on others where NT needs to stamp > this is done by your PC clock. So there's no dedicated code needed for access, it will be determined by the provider you connect to in NT.

I looked at the current time for nist atomic clock. It is close to my PC time, a matter of seconds. I do not understand how a slight difference could cause such large discrepancies on the order of 10-20 minutes. Does time zone matter or the instrument settings?

Hello Chris001,

Thank you for your post.

I am not sure what you are referring to here. Where are you seeing a discrepancy?

I thought I had posted to a similar thread. I will post it there instead
