My code:
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (ToDay(DateTime.Now )== ToDay(Time[0]) & ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(15, 30, 00) )
{

// Calculate the bars ago value
int barsAgo0 = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(2023, 01, 05, 15, 30, 0));

int barsAgo1 = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(2023, 01, 05, 15, 30, 1));


Print("The Open price on the 15:30:00 bar was: " + Open[barsAgo0].ToString());
Print("The Open price on the 15:30:01 AM bar was: " + Open[barsAgo1].ToString());

}

Hello J2512,

From the code you provided you are missing an & symbol, if your condition in your code only has a single & its likely not equating as you expect it to. You need to do && in conditions.

I would suggest testing that first and if that is not the issue you may need to use Print statements in your code to check when the condition is becoming true to make sure its working right.
