Historical Bars

[rymoore99]

I am writing a strategy and would like to "look up" information on a stock in a previous time during the OnBarUpdate method.

To accomplish this, I am first adding the stock in the Initialize method:

Add("MYSTOCK", PeriodType.Minute, 15);

Then, I am attempting to look up the price of the stock 50, 15 minute "ticks" ago using:

var bar = CurrentBar - 50;
var bars = BarsArray[0];
			
double oldPrice =  bars.GetOpen(bar);

This seems to work ok, but it also seems to be including many "ticks" that are not during the active trading day (pre-market, post-market, weekends, etc). Is there any way to ensure that the bars I am using are ONLY from active trading hours?

Think I found it

I think I had the wrong template selected for my stock indicator... does that seem correct?

Thanks for letting us know - yes, that sounds correct - as the primary template would define the hours in most cases of the setup.
