Get barIndex by time

[frankduc]

Hello,

There's a few ways you can get time by x, but is there a method to get a specific barIndex for a specific time? For exemple, for 9:30 it returns bar 989.

Paul,

I would like to create an anchor time in the proprieties parameter.

Is it possible to create a bolean in if (State == State.SetDefaults)
Something like DateTime = timeValue.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss") well its not logical beacause its a type but is there a way i can do that?

This way i could choose a date and time in the parameters and send it to my variable for my indicator.

Thanks

Hello frankduc,

Thanks for your reply.

In State.SetDefaults, the purpose of the state is to set the default parameters.

You would use a public input to override the default value.

Please see the help guide for state clarifications: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tatechange.htm

If you want a property to set both a date and a time:

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.ChartAnchorT imeEditor")]
[Display(Name="MyDateTime")]
public DateTime MyDateTime { get; set; }

Hi,

I tried in

State.SetDefaults:

MyDateTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 10, 7, 47, 0);

I suppose by that:

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.ChartAnchorT imeEditor")]
[Display(Name="MyDateTime")]
public DateTime MyDateTime { get; set; }

That part was going to region proprieties?

I get this error:

NinjaScript File Error Code Line Column
CMAtest1.cs No overload for the 'CMA01' method takes arguments 1 CS1501 74 24

Hello frankduc,

Thanks for your reply.

Correct, the the code [NinjascriptProperty] and below would be outside of OnStateChange() and outside of OnBarUpdate() and typically would be found below OnBarUpdate().

Hi,

Does it need #region Properties and #endregion at the end?

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.ChartAnchorT imeEditor")]
[Display(Name="MyDateTime")]
public DateTime MyDateTime { get; set; }


I still get this error:

NinjaScript File Error Code Line Column
CMAtest1.cs No overload for the 'CMA01' method takes arguments 1 CS1501 74 24

Hello frankduc,

Thanks for your reply.

The #region Properties and #endregion are not needed and they are there to provide the ability to collapse a section of code so that you can visually skip over a section if you are not working in that section. Large code files typically would have a number of regions and you are welcome to add more to your code if it help you visually. Refrence: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...ocessor-region

You can use an internet search for what the error code CS1501 means. In this case we do have a reference in the help guide but in case we do not (we only have a limited set) use the internet. Here is a link to the help guide on error code CS1501: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?cs1501.htm

The Line and column number of the error are Line 74 at column 24 so the compiler has identified for you where to look in the file CMAtest1 to find the error.
