Bars.IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex

[seefisch]

When using IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex I wanted to look backward from where LastBarOfSession was found -to- where the session had started.

I wrote into my script a loop using While and I incremented the index. My script did not find the FirstBarOfSession.

int x = 1;
while ( ! Bars.IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex(x) ) x++;


After I thought about it I guess it only makes sense that IsLastBarOfSessionByIndex would only work when my indicator looked from Left (older bars) to Right (newer bars). Not the other way around.

I found many other ways to do my search.

Minor issue. I just mention it because maybe it would be nice if the help file addressed this?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

I am not entirely sure what you were trying to do here, you said "When using IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex I wanted to look backward from where LastBarOfSession was found -to- where the session had started. "

Are you saying you wanted to find the Last session and get its start time? Could you provide more clarity on this?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

What I wanted to do was to find how many bars ago the session had started. From there I wanted to do a HighestBar(High, x) search to set the count to use for the HighestBar search.

We used to have this in NT7 as BarsSinceSessionStarted, but now I need to do it myself.

What I was doing was to set a counter and look backward, implementing my counter as I go, until I found the IsStartOfSession=true. It didn't work..

I am a little more NT8 experienced now.:
I used sessionIterator ActualStartTime
Searched backward to find a bar with that Time Stamp
I then found the difference in the BarsInProgress[0] of the two
I then fed that result HighestBar(High,x) to get the Highest Bar of Session..
