Get date of a bar in another chart

[frizshizzle]

Hi, how can you access the date of the latest bar of an instrument in a different chart?
For example I need to check if the EOD data has been updated by checking if the date of SPY's current bar with ToDay(); matches the nyse advancing issues.
thanks

Hello frishizzle,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

If you're using NinjaTrader 7, you can add a secondary series to the indicator to the Indicators Initialize method. .
Add("^NYSE", PeriodType.Minute, 1);

You can then check the Times[1][0] property for the most recent time object of this secondary series.

if (ToDay (Time[0]) == ToDay(Times[1][9]))

You can see a sample multi instrument implementation through Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy.

You can see here for a reference sample on manipulating Date / Time objects.
