Time and proprieties

[frankduc]

Hello,

I try to get date and time in the proprieties indicator of my indicator.

If i use

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

I only get the DATE in the proprieties indicator, same if i remove the date to only input the Time:

MyDateTime = new DateTime(16, 00, 0);

I tried with

TimeSpan timeSpan = new TimeSpan(2, 14, 18);

But no luck only date show up.

How do i only get the time or both, does it have to do with the proprieties scipt?

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

Hello frankduc,

Thank you for your note.

If you're just looking for a time picker you can actually set one up in the Strategy Builder or in the Indicator Wizard. Here's a quick example I created in the Indicator Wizard:

public class aaaaaaTestDateTimeInput : Indicator
{
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
Name = "aaaaaaTestDateTimeInput";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
IsOverlay = true;
DisplayInDataBox = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawHorizontalGridLines = true;
DrawVerticalGridLines = true;
PaintPriceMarkers = true;
ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
//Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
//See Help Guide for additional information.
IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;
[B]TestInput1 = DateTime.Parse("13:20", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) ;[/B]
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Add your custom indicator logic here.
}

[B]#region Properties
[NinjaScriptProperty]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.TimeEditorKey")]
[Display(Name="TestInput1", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
public DateTime TestInput1
{ get; set; }
#endregion[/B]

}
}

Hello frakduc,
You can use as below:

In Set.Defaults,[INDENT]MyDateTime = DateTime.Parse("16:00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);[/INDENT]
 In Properties,[INDENT][NinjaScriptProperty]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.ChartAnchorTimeEditor")]
[Display(Name="Entry Time", Order=0, GroupName="Parameters")]
public DateTime MyDateTime
{ get; set; }[/INDENT]

Hope it helps!

Hello Kinra,

No it only return the time. You can get both seperatly but i dont know yet how to get both. Choose the time and the date.

Hello frakduc,
Please find attached snapshot of my Indicator Settings with same inputs.

[frankduc]

Yes you are right you have the date and time but cant change the time. You are stuck with 16:00.

Hello frankduc,

Thank you for your reply.

No, their example actually does work. You can use the date picker to choose the date but you have to select in the field and type the desired time in.

I've made a quick video to demonstrate: https://www.screencast.com/t/2zMlrpT11

Alternatively it may be more user friendly to input the date separately from the time and then build a new DateTime out of those user inputs.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
