Time on charts

[epcompany]

I have a strategy that is driven completely off first tick of a bar. To debug and generally see what I'm doing, I use the Output Window and tag the output with time now: Time[0] which is always the time of first tick.

The time displayed on the charts is the time of last tick of bar. I have to go through mental gymnastics to correlate the chart with the Output Window. Can the displayed chart time be changed to first tick instead of last tick?

Thanks!

It cannot. Bar time is the end of the bar. It also corresponds to the beginning of the next bar. Ergo, use Time[1], and you also get the beginning time of Bar[0].
