code to detect first day of history of chart

[SARdynamite]

Hello,

Could you tell me how I write the following :

if (first day of history loaded)








Thank you

SARdynamite, there's no real method for this task so here's an idea : with CurrentBar you have access to the bar index, save the date to a variable on the first chart bar (CurrentBar == 0) and then start your conditions if your current chart date is greater than this (first new day since start of the chart).

Great. Thank you

[SARdynamite]

Excuse me but how do you get the date of the day of the bar. Can't find it. Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You can use ToDay() for this task - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eV6/ToDay.html

[SARdynamite]

if (CurrentBar==0) d1=ToDay(Time[0]);

gets me d1=0

I'm on Range bars. Is that right ?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Works for me here, how did you define your d1 varilable? An int?

[SARdynamite]

sorry, I was using if (CurrentBar<1) return; before

works just fine

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Great, should've asked about it firstplace...
