Bar Speed Timer

[ginx10k]

Hi folks. I'm trying to migrate a barspeed indicator from NT7 to NT8. Once part of the code on NT7 is

    TimeSpan timer = Time[0] - Time[1];

but I keep getting error on NT8 that "Cannot implicity convert type 'double' to System.TimeSpan.

Thoughts?

Hello ginx10k,

I don't see a problem with this specific code, the error you provided means that you are trying to set a double as a TimeSpan. Something that would generate that would be:

TimeSpan timer = Close[0];

If you double click the error message and not the CSxxxx number, it should take you to the line or general area of the script which has the error.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi, thanks for response. I've attached the indicator. I just can't see why it won't compile. please help with these errors. Thanks!

Hello ginx10k,

It looks like you made a plot named Time, there is already a property named Time so you remapped it to a double.

You would need to change the name of your plot to be something unique and not already used like MyTime as an example.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I get the following error when applying my bar timer:
"Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar -1: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart."
My code is:
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{BD[0] = (Time[0]-Time[1]).TotalSeconds;}
searched this thread for an answer before posting. Just looking to subtract bar close times and plot. Thank you!

Hello Kicks.Spin,

Thats likely because you are using Time[1] before 1 BarsAgo is available.

You can add
if(CurrentBar < 1) return; before that and it should avoid that message.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse. That worked.
