Time setting.

[Czarek]

Now I understand, what you mean. I defined in my code example a variable with the name "Stop", but used a variable with the name "End". Yes, you need to change either the used name or the defined name. I didn't test the code myself.

Fine. So it should be OK. Thanks a lot.

Hallo Ralph
I have one more question to the sample you send me time ago[CODE]DateTime Start = DateTime.MaxValue
DateTime Stop = DateTime.MinValue
...
if(ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(20,45,0))
{
Start = Time[0]
Stop = Start.AddMinutes(405)
}
...
if(Time[0] >= Start && Time[0] <= End)
{
here we go
}/CODE]

How to make variable represent 20,45,00 ??

You could just drop the ToTime(20,45,0) and just make an int variable

int someVar = 204500;
if (ToTime(Time[0]) == someVar)

Hello.
I make the coded time setting according this sample:
[CODE]DateTime.MaxValue
DateTime Stop = DateTime.MinValue
...
if(ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(20,45,0))
{
Start = Time[0]
Stop = Start.AddMinutes(405)
}
...
if(Time[0] >= Start && Time[0] <= End)
{
here we go
}/CODE]/CODE]
I works well on the computer I create the strategy.
When I transfer strategy to another compter problems apperaed.
I got 2 different results in output windows:
Here works well:

7/8/2009 3:52:48Start =31/12/9999 23:59:59
7/8/2009 3:52:48Stop =1/1/0001 0:00:00

Here does not work;

7/8/2009 3:52:48Start =6/8/2009 23:59:59
7/8/2009 3:52:48Stop =6/8/2009 0:00:00

I already check the local time date setting on both computers are same.

Where can I fix this setting.

Czarek, are you sure code is running on exactly the same set of historical data? Please try to reload the data on the PC where you got an unexpected result and retry.

Hi Czarek,

not sure what you are describing in your code snippets.

7/8/2009 3:52:48Start =31/12/9999 23:59:59
7/8/2009 3:52:48Stop =1/1/0001 0:00:00

The numbers above represent the DateTime.MaxValue and DateTime.MinValue.

7/8/2009 3:52:48Start =6/8/2009 23:59:59
7/8/2009 3:52:48Stop =6/8/2009 0:00:00

And these numbers above represent something based on some calculations: Two time-stamps with a distance of nearly 24 hours.

???

Ralph.
This is what have been shown in output window on two different computers.
Same code works in different on different computers. Both has same data time system setting. I do not know why same code works different.
I just add ToDay to the code and the problem gone.
[CODE]if(ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(20,45,0)) && (ToDay(Time[0]) >= 20090807)CODE]

Speculation, but different computers could have different data therefore evaluating slightly differently.

[Ralph]

Here is another observation: If the print of the results displays the initial values (MinValue, MaxValue), then the if-condition was not hit.
A statement like:

if(ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(20,45,0))

may work for a 15-minute-chart but may not work for a 10-minute-chart. An alternate solution could be:

if(ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(20,45,0))
