Indicator checks start of a new trading day

[lkuo.me]

Hi there,

I'm developing an indicator needs to display something at the beginning of a trading day.

Followed instructions from this thread: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=71559

And here is my code

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
            //Add your custom indicator logic here.
			if (Time.Count > 2 && Time[0].Date != Time[1].Date)
			{
				Log("New day " + Time[0].Date.ToLongTimeString(), LogLevel.Information);
			}
        }

I'm testing this while using playback. Nothing got printed into the Log, meanwhile keep getting this error message "Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 0: 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."


Please advice if there's anyway I could deal with this? Thank you very much!

You need to make sure that Time[1] is valid, i.e., that enough bars exist to get a prior bar's time. For example,

if (CurrentBar < 1) return ;

before your code.
