5min chart, AddNewPlot based of a closes at a specific time

[Christopher Leggit]

Hello Ninja Support and Ninja Traders,

How do I call on the 3:15am candle specifically?

"Calling on this specific time based candle to AddNewPlot at its closing price"

I am in Asia the futures market reopens at 6am I am wanting to add a horizontal line at the start of the market
based on the closing price of the 3:15am candle.

Ninja Support and Personal users, shout out to "Forrestang", have both helped me here to understand ninja script better
I understand Ninja Support cant write code for me but if someone could scratch together an example
of how it would be structured It would be so very helpful


I haven't posted here for a long time I have been using Ninja help guides for about 2 months on this but I cant figure it out.

Kind Regards Chris

Hello Chris,

Is this a 1 minute or 5 minute or 15 minute chart?

You can compare the bar time to be 3:15.

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 31500))

Or if you are trying to get a bar number from the most recent bar at 3:15 you can use Bars.GetBar().

Print("Bar number at 3:15: " + Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 3, 15)));

it a 5min chart,
I'm getting the 3:15am bar closing price,
attaching my plot line to that closePrice


// get the close price of the 3:15am Candle
double closePrice = Print("The close price on the 3:15 AM bar was " + Bars.GetClose(new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 3, 15)));

Is this correct?

thank you Chelsea

Hello Chris,

This would be correct for finding the the 3:15 bar that occurred on the same day.
