Reset Bar count when Session End/Start

[amfpaulo]

I am trying to count bars, no problems with that super simple, however now I want to reset the count to 1 every time the market close/open. What variables do I need to check ? Is there a variable the tells me Day is Starting or Ending ?

Hello amfpaulo,

Thank you for your post.

You can use isFirstBarOfSession or isLastBarOfSession.

Thank you for, worked out, I also found a easier way to acomplish this, Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay. However, for all properties that take Session in consideration they are set to see the Global session not the specific Market session, NY for example. It makes sense, since future or forex as 24hrs market.... What I am going to do is use Bars.GetTime, and check if the bar time is between 9:30 am to 4:00 pm and having a variable counting the bars.

Is there better way to do this using internal variables with out a custom counter ?

Hello amfpaulo,

Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay will follow the Trading Hours template you have applied to your primary data series.

We have a quick video demonstration available testing it against different trading hours tempaltes:

Thank you. Very Nice. I ended up creating a cool algorithm that transforms Time into BarNumber based on a Starting Day Time. But Way better do what you did in the video. Thank you again
