Accessing Strategy Analyzer - Time Frame - Start Date from Ninjascript

[shodson]

From my strategy, when I backtest, how can I access the date value in

Strategy Analyzer >> Time Frame >> Start Date & End Date

from Ninjascript?

I want to pre-load some external data when I run a backtest, but not all of the data, just what I need for the back-test period specified in the strategy analyzer.

Hello shodson,

There are not specific properties that I am aware of that represent those times however you could likely do this from OnBarUpdate on CurrentBar 0 using the Time[0] object. That would represent the first datapoint loaded. If you are not using TickReplay you could get the last bar of the series using the index Time.GetValueAt(Count - 2).

There are some undocumented properties you can try however I am unaware of their normal expectations:

Print(From + " " + To);

I look forward to being of further assistance.
