Odd results with time differences

[maxpi]

I was exploring the use of the ToTime function to get some time differences between ticks. When I put the following indicator on a one minute chart of today's YM front month contract I find that it outputs the value 100 for time differences between bars and when the hour rolls over it reads 4000...

Plot0.Set(ToTime(Time[0] - ToTime(Time[1]));

What units is that supposed to be in? The problem at the hour rollover appears to be a bug unless I've misapplied something...

On a tick chart it seems to read out in seconds and i get the 4000 reading at the hour rollover as well...

Please review the Help Guide section for clear example of what is returned from the ToTime() method. Its an integer representation and not something you should use to calcualte the difference.

Try

Plot.Set(Time[0].Subtract(Time[1]).TotalSeconds);
