Print Current Timeframe

[brucelevy]

Hi I would like to print the current charts timeframe when an event takes place.

I am currently trying to use "PeriodType.Minute", but it is only printing "Minute".

Thanks!

Hello brucelevy,

Thanks for your post.

Here are a few examples of printing the instrument and BarsPeriod info:

Print ("Instrument "+Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name);
Print ("fullname: "+ Instrument.FullName);
Print ("Bar type: "+BarsPeriod.Id);
Print ("Bar period: "+BarsPeriod.Value);

The above statements applied to a chart of CL 03-17 30 minute would produce:

Instrument CL
fullname: CL 03-17
Bar type: Minute
Bar period: 30

To answer your specific question you would want to print BarsPeriod.Value.
