Duration of volume bar (in seconds)

[WalterSkinner]

Hello,

What is the best way to calculate the duration in seconds of a volume based bar?

My first inclination would be to subtract Time[1] - Time[0] and then convert that to an int.

Is this the right way to go about this?

If not, what is the proper way to do this?

Thanks!

Hello WalterSkinner,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, that would work.

You have some options depending on what size of number you are looking for.

(Time[0] - Time[1]).TotalMilliseconds;

(Time[0] - Time[1]).TotalSeconds;

(Time[0] - Time[1]).TotalMinutes;

(Time[0] - Time[1]).TotalHours;
