get price at specific time

[matt3m]

Hi,

I would like to get the price at a specific time, including millisecond. What method can I use?

For example, I want the price at 9:43:20:20, that is 9:43am at the 20 second mark and at the 20 millisecond mark, for example. How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi matt3m, NinjaTrader does not currently utilize millisecond resolution anywhere, but you can use the GetBar() function to find the bar number closest to the time you've specified and then just grab the close from that bar.

Thank you for your reply.

What is the smallest time frame I could get to ?

Hi matt3m,

Bar time stamps are available up to 1 second resolution.

Austin, Is there a way to use a generic "yesterday" instead of a dateTime? for example, i wish to always plot a line at the price at 4:15 yesterday?

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your note.

You could create a variable named yesterday and assign yesterday's date based on what the current day is. Then you could check if ToDay(Time[0]) == yesterday and add a condition to check for the exact time you would like to plot your line. The code would look something like this.

int yesterday = ToDay(DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1)); // Gets yesterdays date based on what day it is currently.

if (ToDay(Time[0]) == yesterday) // checks if current bars date is equal to yesterdays date
{
    if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 161500) // checks if the current time is 4:15PM
    {
        // Logic goes here
    }
}
