OnBarUpdate Method && Time

[westsider]

Is it possible to create a method that is called at an exact time? I am writing an indicator that draws rectangles from 930 - 1600 on ES and 300 - 1100 on 6E on tick bar charts.

I'm trying to write something that isn't dependent on Session Template dependent .

I would like to find the barnumber and Open price right at 930 EST while using any bar type , specifically longer tick bars or 60 minute bar

I could just use Calculate On Bar Close = False. But I would rather not run on every tick just to find the opening price and bar number.

Any thoughts?
Thank You!

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

You may want to look into using OnMarketData() -

This will allow you to check the incoming data and check the time of the tick and get that opening price.

And what is the exact time that you want to call the code?

Thanks Cal and Konagam,

I want to make a call at 0300 and 0930,

Checking out that method right now Cal

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 30000) //do stuff

Yes I use exactly that code -- that doesn't work if a bar close does not Begin at that time. I

n the case of 60m bars or 4500 tick bars on the ES. that code will not render any values

Which is why you should not be trying for an exact time, but a time that falls between or on bars.

if (ToTime(Time[1])<= 30000 && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 30000) //do stuff

I can't believe I didn't know this, it's elementary
