BarsSinceSession

[siroki]

Hi,

When trading forex, I noticed that the Bars.BarsSinceSession returns a value of 1 at the start of the new trading session (5pm EST) but also at 12:00 midnight.. Is there any way to solve this? I'm only interested in the 5pm EST point in time.

Hello siroki,

Thanks for your post.

What session template are you using?

What forex instrument(s) are you using?

I am using the Forex template with the following settings:


It happens on all forex pairs.

When I enter the following code within the OnBarUpdate() statement I get the results:

			if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession) { 
				Print(Time[0].ToString());
}

7/1/2015 5:02:00 PM
7/1/2015 5:30:00 PM

I know there is a non-tradeable period between 5pm and 5:30pm but I would think the session is marked at 5pm.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I used:

if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession && FirstTickOfBar) 
{ 
Print(Time[0].ToString());
}

At first I too had a print at Midnight on some days. I then reloaded all historical data and that cleared up the issue. Please try reloading your historical data and testing again.
