Display Halt time remaining

[CKnudsen]

1. I want to display the time remaining for a circuit breaker halt on my chart. Can you suggest code samples to accomplish this.

2. I have tried numerous chart settings for tick charts and minute charts and it seems all settings do not indicate a Halt. No bars are shown during the halt. Is there a setting (or work around) that will visually show me the halt has occurred?

I do not have a level II data feed.

Thanks

Hello CKnudsen,

Thanks for opening the thread.

To accomplish this goal, I would suggest to use a SessionIterator to get the times on the session for your data series that you attach an indicator to. You can also use an additional data series for a different TradingHours template, so you can get the times of RTH trading hours so they can be displayed on a chart using an ETH trading hours template.

Since there would not be any data iterating at this time, OnBarUpdate() will not iterate. I would suggest to then implement a timer and a custom event into the indicator so it can display the time remaining when DateTime.Now is within a certain bounds. The SampleCustomEvents script on our forums demonstrates how a timer can be implemented in NinjaScript.

I'll include links to publicly available documentation and with sample code and the sample script that implements a timer.
