Get a specific bar and lock it.

[frankduc]

Hello,

Is it possible to get a specific bar and lock it. Is there a method that allow me to choose for example bar 500 Bars.GetLow(barIndex); and lock it.
Because if i input a specific bar in my for loop, as the bars add up in the chart, bar 500 will become bar 501 or 499 bars ago. If 500 is at 9 am i want the 9 am bar whatever it becomes bar 501 or 502 ...

Hello frankduc,

Thanks for your post.

There is no way to "lock" a bar.

Bar indexes start at 0 and increase as new bars are processed. BarsAgo indexes are the opposite. If you keep track of the bar index that you want with a variable "MyIndex," it will not matter what bar you call Bars.GetLow(MyIndex) because you are referencing the same bar index, and thus the same bar.

We look forward to assisting.

Jim,

Ok than i could use

MyDateTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 10, 16, 00, 0);

to pin point a specific bar.

There is just one thing i dont get in proprieties parameters i only get the date to choose but i cant change the hour. What did i do wrong?

Hello frankduc,

Bars.GetBar can be used to get a bar from a specified timestamp.

Bars.GetBar - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?getbar.htm

You can add a string as your User Defined Input and parse it as a DateTime object. You can look into using DateTime.ParseExact which is standard C# to convert a string to a DateTime object.

Publicly available information on DateTime.ParseExact can be found below.
