Price by timestamp

[entropy]

Hello,

On a give chart what code would I use to access price at a given timestamp? For example what was the close at 10AM? What was it "exactly 4 hours ago"?

Thanks

Hello Entropy,

Thank you for your note.

You can use Bars.GetBar() to get the bar that is 4 hours ago. This will return the bars index value which you can then pass through a price data series such as Open, High, Low, Close

//print close value of bar 4 hours ago
Print(Close[CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month, DateTime.Today.Date, 10, 0, 0)]);

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you!

How would I access the bar of a given time today, only if it is already past that time today? Assume for example how do I look back at 10AM today only if it's after 10AM?

Entropy,

You would test the date time to greater than 10 AM

There are two ways to do this -

if(ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(10,0,0))

OR

if(DateTime.Now > new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month, DateTime.Today.Date, 10, 0, 0))
