Number of bars over more than one session

[arbuthnot]

Hi everyone

Bars.BarsSinceSession will give you the number of bars since the beginning of this session.

Is there any way I can find the number of bars since the beginning of the previous session, or indeed the beginning of 'n sessions ago'?

Much obliged in advance for any help.

Hello arbuthnot,

Thank you for your post.

There is no direct function or method to call to pull the number of bars in the previous session. You can however use the GetNextBeginEnd to pull the beginning and ending of a session and use CurrentBar to store the value of the CurrentBar on Session Start and then subtract that from the CurrentBar at the Session End to have the number of bars per session.

For information on GetNextBeginEnd please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...xtbeginend.htm

Thanks very much, Patrick.

It looks fairly complex but I'll try my best!
