Tmeframe

Hi!

Which function returns the timeframe?
I have tried with period() without success.
TimePeriod() does also not work.

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thank you for your post.

Time[ ] could be used to get the time of a bar.

Time[ ] - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...eries_time.htm

If you would like to manipulate DateTime objects, please see the reference sample in this help guide documentation - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...me_objects.htm

Many thanks Brondon for your reply.

I am meaming the time frame and not the time at which a bar was formed.

I mean for example 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 2000 ticks ...bars time frames.

Is there a function to get a given time frame?

Best regards,

[Stanfillirenfro]

Can this function give me the current time frame?
ToTime(Time[0])

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thank you for that clarification.

ToTime() would be used to get the current time in the format Hmmss where 7:30 AM would be 73000 and 2:15:12 PM would be 141512.

I understand that you would like to get the bar period of the data series. For example. 1-minute bar, 2000 tick bar, etc.

You could BarsPeriod.Value to get the period value of a bar within your script.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
