OHLC of Entry Bar

[Oil_Trader]

hi I need to get the OHLC of the bar (15min) when a position was opened.

How is this done?

Hello,

Thank you for your forum post.

Just wanted to let you know that we received your note and that someone will respond in the morning.

Thank You for your patience.

Oil_Trader, you could just save the barnumber of your entrybar and reference the OHLC then as needed.

Oil_Trader, the below should compile well -

 
if (ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(9, 30, 0))
{
}

If I set the Session times to be 930am to 415pm...would this be the same equivalent as this code?

if (ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(9, 30, 0))

More or less, yes for the 9:30 part.
If you do it by session definitions though it means all of your indicators will not take into account information before 9:30. If you do it by code your other indicators which you may use for signals and such would still be calculating and take into account data before 9:30.
