Apply an indicator only on the last day

[blarouche]

Hi all,

I've scanned through the forum very quickly but couldn't find I think a simple answer.

Is there a way to show extended lines for an indicator only on the last trading day ?

For example if I ask for a chart from 1/12009 to 1/6/2009 only draw extended lines for day 1/6/2009


Thanks Bernard

Bernard, I believe you could just query if you're calling OnBarUpdate() on the current day and then use DrawExtentedLine() instead of DrawLine() as method.

I have tried :
if(DateTime.Now == DateTime.Today)

but it doesn't work

No, as DateTime.Now will give you today's date and current time and DateTime.Today will give you today's date, but 12:00 AM.

Try comparing the date portion so -

 
if(ToDay(DateTime.Now) == ToDay(DateTime.Today))

It doesn't work because it is always showing equality...

I printed the result on the output window and they showed always equality. It makes sense because I am asking if Date time now is equal to today..

What I want to compare is the date of the current bar. Is it equal to today ?

I don't know how to code that

Here is how I solved the problem :

if( ToDay(Time[0]) == ToDay(DateTime.Today))
