Getting price data of specific bar

[badasan]

Hi,

How should I write a code to get O,H,L,C of specific bar, for example, 9:35AM 5 min bar?

Thank you very much for help in advance

You use GetBar() to find the bar number of the time you want. Then you use Open[x] where x is the bar number you just got.

GetBar number based on price

You use GetBar() to find the bar number of the time you want. Then you use Open[x] where x is the bar number you just got.

In my code my primary timeframe is a renko chart and an additional bar series is added on say a one tick timeframe.

In OnBarUpdate() we have something like

double startpriceofsignal;
double stopriceofsignal;

//one tick chart
if(BarsInProgress == 1)
{
startpriceofsignal = GetStartPriceSignal();
stopriceofsignal = GetStopPriceSignal();

}

//main timeframe (renko chart)
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
int startbarsignal = GetStartBar(startpriceofsignal);
int stopbarssignal = GetStopBar(stopriceofsignal);
}

How would I implement GetStartBar(), GetStopBar() methods? So I'm trying to get bar numbers on the primary timeframe based on prices calculated from a signal on the lower timeframe 1 tick chart. Is there a way to map price to time on the lowertimeframe chart so I can then use GetBar(timevalue)?

Hello mballagan, and thank you for your question. If you are only interested in the most recent occurrences of a price, you can use this code,

[FONT=Courier New]private Dictionary<double, DateTime> mostRecentTimes;

protected override void Initialize()
{
    mostRecentTimes = new Dictionary<double, DateTime>();
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    mostRecentTimes[Close[0]] = Time[0];
}[/FONT]

You will then be able to use mostRecentTimes[Price] to retrieve the time that price was most recently reached, or 0 if that price point had not yet been reached.
