Current time of the bar

[cay7man]

I've Calculate set to OnPriceChange. I'm trying to print the current time of the bar. Tried Print(Time[0].Minute) but it prints 30 always on 30m chart. I'm looking for the elapsed minutes.

Hello cay7man,

Bars in NinjaTrader are marked by the close time of the bar.
If the time is 9:23, the 30 minute bar would close at 9:30.

If you want to show the time of each tick, you would need to a 1 tick series or a 1 second series with AddDataSeries().

If you want to show the computer time you can print Core.Globals.Now.

TY! Do I have to add same period series for 1s to the chart? ie. add 30 minute 1sec series to 30m chart?

Hello cay7man,

The BarsPeriod would be BarsPeriodType.Second and the value would be 1.

AddDataSeries(null, BarsPeriodtype.Second, 1);

In OnBarUpdate() this becomes BarsInProgress index 1, Times[1][0], Closes[1][0], etc.

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Print(string.Format("{0} | BarsInProgress: {1}, CurrentBars[1]: {2}", Times[1][0], BarsInProgress, CurrentBars[1]));
}
