Time[0] = 1/1/1800 00:00:00

[tulanch]

I create indicators that are designed to work with the user adjusting input data series settings.

I use the NT7 user interface to change from the base Close value to something I want to work with.


I have found if I change to something other than the default Close value, Time[0] does not get the correct time.

I can repeat this process...

I am simply using Print(Time[0])

if I do not alter the input series, all is ok

if I change it, the print statement outputs 1/1/1800 00:00:00 which indicates to me the Time data series somehow gets nullified

Is there some other way I am to access time if the input data series is altered?

Also, this tends to be when I am selecting to use is another indicator's plot value.

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

This is the case when you use an indicator as an input series unfortunately. You lose access to Open,Low,High,Time. You only have Value[0] to work with in this scenario.
