How to get opening time of bar?

[ttodua]

On time based bars, the Time[0] gives the endtime of current bar. But how to get the opentime of current bar?

a) for time based bars, it could be: Time[0].AddMinutes(- barsPerioidInMunites)
b) for Not-time based bars?

Hello TazoTodua,
Thanks for your post.

The answer here is variable depending on what specifically you are trying to do.

Is this in historical or real-time?

Is this Calculate.OnEachTick or Calculate.OnBarClose?

Is this a multi series strategy?

Can you provide the specific scenario in which you want to apply this concept?

I think there could be a property like TimeOfOpen[0] which would give the opening time for bar.

Hello TazoTodua,

You can use Calculate.OnEachTick/OnPriceChange to have the script see current tick of the developing bar (this would include the opening tick of a new bar.)

You could also check Bars.GetOpen(CurrentBar+1) when using Calculate.OnBarClose.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
