StartTime/EndTime format?

What's the point? Why not an integer? If you used ToTime instead of DateTime wouldn't it be simpler. What is the purpose of the complication? Is one more accurate or what? Declaring, defining, properties, why not an integer?

Hello kenb2004,

The SampleDateTimeFunctions shows the formats of the DateTime object use. So you could create a new DateTime object for the startTime and endTime of the object that you want to draw at those specific times.

Another reference that you can use is the VWAP indicator that creates new DateTime series at the following link.

To read more information about DateTime you may view the following link.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I'm sorry but that sample does not answer my question. What do I put in the startTime argument for Today at 9:30 AM? This is as simple a question as I can get.

Hello kenb2004,

The startTime and endTime are going to use a DateTime object not just an integer for a reference. For an example on how to use and modify DateTime objects you may view the following forum post for a sample.

In various Drawing Object properties "startTime" and "endTime" are listed as optional arguments. What is the proper format for startTime if the time is 9:45 AM? I tried 94500 and it shut down my indicator completely.
Thanks
