Dataseries : Static?

[kiriru]

Hello,
I am trying to store the opening price into a dataseries and then access it for my entry conditions.
1. Can I use the time function to limit the time a value is stored into my dataseries?
e.g

if((ToTime(Time[0]) >= 160000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 160030))
{
myDataSeries.Set( Open[0]);
}

2. Does this object store a static value or will it have to update OnBarUpdate?

3. If I use the Reset method to reset the dataseries at a certain time ( say close) will my data series be having a value of 0 or null?

I'm trying to enter the market if the price crosses a certain threshold from open:

if (Close[1] > myDataSeries[1] + trigger * TickSize);
{
EnterLong(Quantity, "Long A");
}

Kiriru, yes you can use the Time() to limit setting values for your DataSeries, however I'm not sure why you need to work with a series, wouldn't storing your price value to a double variable do?

Bertrand,
Thank you for your quick response.
Is there a reference sample or thread you can recommend.
I can only find this that refers to barsAgo

double sum = 0;
for (int barsAgo = 0; barsAgo < Period; barsAgo++)
{
sum = sum + Input[barsAgo];
}
How can I refer to the Open or close of the FirstBarOfSession?
Thanks again.

You're welcome - I'm not aware of a specific sample, just save the value to a variable at your desired time then -

 
if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
myOpen = Close[0];

You can also access this value as defined by your session times from the CurrentDayOHL indicator.
