ToDay & ToTime

[sasil]

I am recording a log and I need to register the date and the hour of event.

I am using " string Key = ToDay(Time[0]).ToString() + ";" + ToTime(Time[0]).ToString() + ";" ..."

What is recorded is a date of two days ago and a time that I do not know where it comes from.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Try something like this,

Time[0].ToString("M/d/yy HH:MM:ss");

Take off the ToString?

" string Key = ToDay(Time[0]) + ";" + ToTime(Time[0]) + ";" ..."

Hello sasil,

Thanks for your post.

If you haven't already gotten an answer regarding the use of time, using Time[0] will provide the end time of the current bar and if you are using long time frame bars the log may not accurately reflect the event time.

If you are needing real time, you can use Print ("Date-Time: "+DateTime.Now); example: Date-Time: 6/16/2016 6:23:27 AM

Thanks for your replies.
I think I found the problem of the date and time wrong. I was running my routine into the OnStartup (). Now I put in the OnBarUpdate () and the date and time are correct.
Now I will try to hit the formats.
Thanks...
