GetTime method getting wrong date and time

[josebolde]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before.

I am getting different results with the following two statements:

Time[0]
BarsArray[0].GetTime(0)

The first one returns the correct date and time. The second one, however, returns 9/9/24 @ 4pm.

I have already checked the chart's data box (I saw on another post that this might have been the problem) and the info in there is correct.

BR,

Jose.

Hello josebolde,

Thank you for your post.

This is because GetTime() returns the time at the specified bar index value. GetTime(0) is the time of bar with index 0. Time[0] is the time of the current bar processing.

Hi Gaby,

thanks for the reply! I got the GetTime() method working now. If I could just trouble you with one last detail:

In the following code:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequiredToPlot || CurrentBars[1] <= BarsRequiredToPlot)
return;

SHBar = Swing(BarsArray[1],1).SwingHighBar(0,1,30) + 1;
timeHB = BarsArray[1].GetTime(CurrentBars[1] - SHBar);

indiceHigh = 0;
while(Time[indiceHigh] > timeHB){
indiceHigh = indiceHigh + 1;
}

Draw.VerticalLine(this,"lineaHighV",indiceHigh,Bru shes.Green);

Print(indiceHigh);

}

When I try to index a certain bar in the higher timeframe down to the lower timeframe, it seems that the variable I use (indiceHigh) goes haywire just for the first lower timeframe bar whenever a new higher timeframe bar starts. It's easier to see it visually with the vertical line that tracks the variable indiceHigh. It works fine for most bars but, when a new bar starts in the higher timeframe, it quickly moves to the right (just for one lower timeframe bar) and then it returns to the correct place.

Currently, I am using BarsArray[0] = 1s and BarsArray[1] = 30s.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and BR,

Jose.
