TimeSpan

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

I am using TimeSpan and whilst it seems to be working ok when I close and reopen NinjaTrader the indicator is still loaded on the chart but the values are all 00,00,00. Is this expected behaviour?

#region Variables
TimeSpan sessionStart                = new TimeSpan(22,20,00);     
TimeSpan sessionEnd                    = new TimeSpan(23,59,59);  

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)

DateTime now = (Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider == Cbi.Provider.Replay ? Bars.MarketData.Connection.Now : DateTime.Now);

if(now.TimeOfDay >= sessionStart && now.TimeOfDay <= sessionEnd)
{
//do something
}

#region Properties
[Description("Session Start")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public TimeSpan SessionStart
        {
            get { return sessionStart; }
            set { sessionStart = value; }
        }
        
        [Description("Session End")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public TimeSpan SessionEnd
        {
            get { return sessionEnd; }
            set { sessionEnd = value; }
        }

Hi suprsnipes, which value would you expect instead? The OnMarketData() would not be called on any historical bars / period to calculate.

It works ok it's just when I close NinjaTrade down and then reopen the default values or whatever I have them set to are all reset

Oh ok, I see what's up here. You would need to custom serialize the TimeSpans to be able to persist (as they are not serializable in C# per dedault). Here's user shared code snippet posted showing how do achieve that:
