Getting just 24 hours Forex trades

[pstrusi]

Hi Ninjas,

I´m trying to fix an issue in the Strategy Analizer, cause when an optimization for a normal 24 hours Forex session is required ( For intraday purpose ) you'll get results that include trades out of that daily range. So, since I´m not a programmer, I was reading and I found something helpful, the "Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd". I discovered that I can know in that datetime format, which are my sessionBegin and my sessionEnd, but now I want to know:

How can I call the Datetime of the current Bar (in the same format used for sessionEnd ) in order to compare if it continues to be within the same range?

I was playing with Bars.GetDayBar(0).Time but it doesn't work

Thanks

Hello pstrusi,
To get the time of the current bar simply use Time[0]. Please refer to our help guide to know more about it.

Thanks Joydeep.

As always, every time I solve some issue with your help, I post here how I did it.

In this case, to obtain just the 24 hours trades in forex session, I added this at first to the code:

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd(BarsArray[0], 0, out sessionBegin, out sessionEnd);
if (Time[0] < sessionEnd)
{
the code
}

Please Joydeep, transmit this issue solved to Bertrand, cause it was thought to be included in the next major NT upgrade, and maybe there´s even an easier way to solve it, since I´m not a programmer, but at least I solved :-)
