Accessing time[0] for incoming Ticks - no seconds information

[satnam]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement an indictor that looks for price fluctuation within the last 15 seconds before each 5minute bar closes.

In order to implement I need time[0] to return me seconds information for each incoming tick (on OnBarUpdate() method). However, time[0] only returns seconds information for historical data but not realtime data when running in market replay mode.

Can time[0] return seconds information for real time data (i.e. incoming data) aswell?

If not, can someone please shed some light on how something similar could be achieved?

Regards,

Satnam.

Hi satnam,

Time[0] always includes seconds but a 5 minute bar won't work for what you're looking for. The time stamp represents when the bar will end, and so will always be at predictable 5 minute intervals, and there's no time granularity within each bar.

You could use your computer clock with DateTime.Now, or add a secondary 1-second series and read the time stamp from that series.
