Bars.GetBar(time)

[Lost Trader]

I am using this

int bar1 = Bars.GetBar(p1Time);   // Returns the number of bars ago

to get the bar parameter based on a DateTime variable to use in a DrawLine() method. It returns 15472 & I am pretty sure my chart is NOT that big. Sure nuf, an error in the log. What did I do wrong?

Bars are CVB (Volume based) - but your X-axis is labeled with time so logically you know what the time of the bar was...

Just use GetBar() not Bars.GetBar().
