Time and drawing lines

[kaywai]

Hi,

How do I instruct the code to draw the line till 4am or till the end of regular trading hours, which ever is later, taking into account daylight saving. How would the endTime be input? I tried keying in various combinations of 040000 but it got rejected.

This is the code I'm trying to use:-

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width)

I'm using the attached code which I got from Ninjatrader's ecosystem but when I select the "Extend Line", it is drawing the line way past the end of session - till 11:59pm.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hello kaywai,

Thanks for the post.

To draw a line between two times you would need to first figure out the end time and which you wanted to use.

You can get the trading hours for the given instrument by using the session iterator: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...essioniterator

You could then check if the 4am time or the trading hours time is greater to save whichever is greater to a variable.

DateTime endTime     = sessionIterator.ActualSessionEnd;
DateTime myEndTime = endTime; 
DateTime fourAmTime = new DateTime(endTime.Year, endTime.Month, endTime.Day, 4,0,0); 
if(fourAmTime > endTime)
    myEndTime = fourAmTime;

Once you have the end time you wanted to use you can supply that as the end time.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
