    Modify GetBar NinjaTrader help guide code sample

    Hi,

    Using the following example from the NinjaTrader help guide how can I modify the code in RED so that the data is not fixed and is always the current date.

    Code:
    // Check that its past 9:45 AM
    if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(9, 45, 00))
    {
         // Calculate the bars ago value for the 9 AM bar for the current day
         int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime([COLOR=Red]2006, 12, 18[/COLOR], 9, 0, 0));
     
         // Print out the 9 AM bar closing price
         Print("The close price on the 9 AM bar was: " + Close[barsAgo].ToString());
    }
    Regards,
    suprsnipes

    suprsnipes, I think you would be looking for this modification then to work with Time[0] (bar timestamp) as opposed to a fixed date -

    Code:
    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
    {
     // Check that its past 9:45 AM
     if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(9, 45, 00))
      {
       // Calculate the bars ago value for the 9 AM bar for the current day
       int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 9, 0, 0));
    			
       // Print out the 9 AM bar closing price and color the identified bar
        Print(Time[0] + " The close price on the 9 AM bar was: " + Close[barsAgo].ToString());
        BarColorSeries[barsAgo] = Color.Blue;
     }
    }
