Intrabar time

[alex.nt]

Hi,

Is there any way to find out intrabar time natively?

E.g., a minute bar 13:01:00 opens at 13:00:00 and closes at 13:00:59.

Assume there are 5 intra bar ticks in between, occurring at 13:00:10/20/30/40/50

I would like to find out the time of each tick for both realtime and replay modes.

P.S. There is a way to calc that for real-time mode by using local time but I would prefer to have a solution that works a) for Replay mode too b) that is more or less native, i.e. involving minimum of code

Thanks!

This will create a property called Now, which you can query.

Good one, thanks!

Could you please explain the point behind removing milliseconds?

By using the Math.Floor() function, we force the granularity to the same as the barData.
