StarDate and EndDate ?

[ninjo]

Hi everybody

How can I know the "Start Date" and the "End Date" of chart Data Series in my strategy code?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

If you are referring to the First and Last bars on the chart, you could use logic in OnBarUpdate to determine the specific bar times.

Checking the First bar or bar 0's Time, and the Current Bars Time should achieve the Start and End times on the chart.

Are you instead referring to the DataSeries menu and the EndDate and DaysToLoad?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I am testing...

Time[0].ToString() return the date of the firstbar
but
Time[Bars.Count].ToString() return next error: "Bar index needs to be greater/equal 0"

any idea?
Thank you

Hello,

The Current time would of course be Time[0] or zero bars ago, for the First time on the chart you could use:
if(CurrentBar == 0) Print(Time[0]);

That is just a print, you could store this as a variable for later use as well.

Regarding the items in the DataSeries menu, there are not documented ways to get these specific values, instead using logic you could store the Time of bar 0 and the Time[0] on the CurrentBar to get the span of dates.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Is there a way to access those 2 controls using UIAutomationID in NT8?
Would like to be able to programmatically access those Strategy Analyzer values during OnStateChange events.What are UI Automation IDs associated with them and any insights on how to use them would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I am unsure if using an automation ID would be relevant in this case, the Automation ID points to a Control and the Property Grid is displaying an Objects data.

You would need the actual Object to access its properties rather than the Property Grid.

For any further assistance on this question, please post this question in the NT8 forum.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
