DateTime question

[blarouche]

Hi all



I need to know on the first bar of the session how many days have gone by since the last trading day. Is there an easy way to calculate that ?

if(FirstBarOfSession)

Time[0].........??????

Hi Bernard,

If Time[0] is the current day, then Time[1] should be the bar traded at the last trading day, is that correct? If yes, then you could try something like Time[0].Date - Time[1].Date

What is the return type. TimeSpan ?

If yes how can I convert that to an int for calculation purposes

Thanks Ralph

hmmm, that's true it is a TimeSpan. In this case try TimespanVariable.Days. That seems to return an int.

You could try ToDay(Time[0]) - ToDay(Time[1]). Those are already ints to begin with.

OK guys I found it


What I did is :

TimeSpan ts = Time[0].Date.Subtract(Time[1].Date);
timeadjustment = ts.TotalDays;


That gives me a double that I use later in my code.

Thank you all for your help
