Time Range Сondition

[memonolog]

I'm trying to make a condition on a time interval, the problem is that I need the condition to work on the converted time My local and NT time is different from the converted one

The task for the condition to work according to the convertible time

the code

StartMaxVol = DateTime.Parse("10:00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) ;
EndMaxVol = DateTime.Parse("22:00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) ;

TM = "Eastern Standard Time";

// TIME CONVERTED

DateTime ExchangeDateTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(DateTim e.Now, (TM));


if (!UseTime || ExchangeDateTime >= StartMaxVol && ExchangeDateTime <= EndMaxVol)
{

 // LOGIC

}

Why does not it work?

Hello memonolog,

The time of the chart bars and DateTime.Now will always be your local computer time and will never be in the exchange time zone. Do you have NinjaTrader set to a different time zone than your computer's clock time zone?

To confirm, you are trying to convert your local time zone to the time in eastern time no matter what your local time zone is, is this correct?

What is your PC time zone, or the time zone NinjaTrader is set to?

What prints for Time[0] (or DateTime.Now)?

What prints for ExchangeDateTime?

Hello memonolog,

Have already converted the time - ExchangeDateTime

How can I make the condition work by converted time, no matter what is the local time?

how to specify the scope of work conditions for converting time? (syntax)

Hello memonolog,

To confirm, you are wanting to convert from universal time or from the exchange time to your local time zone for the condition?

To convert a date time to your local time zone use TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc().

DateTime universalDate = new DateTime(2020, 11, 23, 15, 30, 5);
DateTime convertedToMyTimeZoneDate = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(universalDate, TimeZoneInfo.Local);
Print(string.Format("{0} UTC is {1} {2}", universalDate, convertedToMyTimeZoneDate, TimeZoneInfo.Local.Id));

If you want to convert a time from another time zone to your time zone an easy way would be to get the date objects .ToUniversalTime(), then convert this to your local time zone with TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc().

Or you could use TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime().
