GetPreviousTradingDayEnd returns wrong Day

[NovaPrime]

I have a litte issue using GetPreviousTradingDayEnd.
If i use it on

State == State.DataLoaded

it returns the Day before the Chart Time frame (if the time frame is set to 5 Days it returns the Date 6 day before).
If GetPreviousTradingDayEnd is called in

OnBarUpdate

, it starts with the Day before the Time frame and counts up to the last trading day.

So where do i have to call GetPreviousTradingDayEnd or how can i ensure that if i call it, it really returns the last day and dont need a few iterations to count up to the last day ?

Im using NinjaTrader 8 and NinjaTrader Continuum demo datafeed.

Use Historical?

Hello NovaPrime,

Thanks for your post.

If you only need to get the previous day from the current day then member sledge has provided a good idea, (although the link is to NT7). The idea being to check what state you are in or not in.

You can do something like:

if (State != State.Realtime) return;
DateTime previousEndDate = TradingHours.GetPreviousTradingDayEnd(Time[0]);        
Print(string.Format("The current bars date is {0} - the previous trading session ended on {1}", Time[0], previousEndDate));

Thank you very much, now it works as expected
