How to Calculate TimeSpan... For Higher Time Frame Bars CurrentBars[1] ...?

[jmca2000]

Hi,

I'm trying to Create a BAR TIMER for NT7 for Higher Time Frame Bars, Add(PeriodType.Custom5, period_HTF), Unirenko Bar Type.

I have tried the Following, to calculate the TimeSpan, to no avail, using Both CQG and Simulated Data Feeds:

TimeSpan dynamicTimerElapsedTimeTS_HTF = DateTime.Now - Bars.GetTime(CurrentBars[1] -1);

TimeSpan dynamicTimerElapsedTimeTS_HTF = BarsArray[1].GetBar(Times[1][1]) - BarsArray[1].GetBar(Times[0][0]);

TimeSpan dynamicTimerElapsedTimeTS_HTF = Bars.GetTime(BarsArray[1].GetBar(Times[1][1])) - Bars.GetTime(BarsArray[1].GetBar(Times[0][0]));

Could you please help me figure this part out?

Thank You in Advance...

Joe

P.S. This works for a Lower Chart Time Frame TIMER:

TimeSpan dynamicTimerElapsedTimeTS_LTF = DateTime.Now - Bars.GetTime(CurrentBar -1);

Hello jmca2000,

Thanks for your post.

To be able to add UniRenko bars you have to specify 3 parameters in one such as Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 004012004); Where 004 = Tick Trend, 012 = Tick Reversal, 004 = open offset (for a Unirenko bar of T4R12O4.

Does your parameter period_HTF provide that type of value?

Hi Paul,

Thank You for your response...

I Know You Need to add "Add(PeriodType.Custom5, 004012004)"

I USE: private int period_HTF = 010060001; and Add(PeriodType.Custom5, period_HTF);

And

[Description("HTF Chart Period, If PERIOD IS 7 DIGITS LONG (Example TRRROOO → 6012001 → 6-Trend, 12-Reversal, 1-Offset), " +
"If PERIOD IS 8 DIGITS LONG (Example TTRRROOO → 12048001 → 12-Trend, 48-Reversal, 1-Offset)")]
[Category("1) HTF - Bar Marker Settings")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayName ("002. HTF Period → → → → → → → → → →")]
public int Period_HTF
{
get { return period_HTF; }
set { period_HTF = Math.Max(1, value); }
}

It WORKs Fine...

That's NOT my Question...

I can Not figure out how to determine what the TIME DIFFERENCE is Between 2 Higher Time Frame Bars Using: NinjaTrader7?
Example: BarsArray[1][0] & BarsArray[1][1] ...??? or DateTime.Now & BarsArray[1][1] ...???


The Lower TimeFrame Bar # is 10915 ( BarsArray[0][0] ).

The Higher TimeFrame Bar # is 1862 ( BarsArray[1][1] ).

The Higher TimeFrame Bar # is 1863 ( BarsArray[1][0] ).



TimeSpan elapsedTime = DateTime.Now - BarsArray[1][1].Time; <---- Does NOT Work, *** (See Original Post code I tried)

TimeSpan elapsedTime = DateTime.Now - ?????? <---- What is the Correct Code that I should Use...???????????????


and/or


TimeSpan elapsedTime = BarsArray[1][0].Time - BarsArray[1][1].Time; <---- Does NOT Work, *** (See Original Post )

TimeSpan elapsedTime = ?????? - ??????; <---- What is the Correct Code that I should Use...??????????????????????



Please Help...
Thank You...

If you're using Times[1][0] or Times[1][1] -- that should be enough.

I mean, don't use BarsArray, it is not needed.

Are you wanting the total time the bar took to build?

TimeSpan elapsedTime = Time[0] - Time[1];

This tells you how long the current HTF bar has been alive,

TimeSpan elaspedTime = Time[0] - Times[1][1];

Remember, Times[1][1] is the time of when the previous HTF bar closed,
but it is also the start time of the next HTF bar after it.

THANK YOU bltdavid...!!!

Just the information that I needed, Excellent Explanations and Code Examples...

Thanks Again Joe...
