    You need to use GetBar() to get the bar number of the time you are looking for.

      GetBar()

      Thanks Josh
      Is there a trick to use the current day as a default setting?
      Code:
      [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=#008000]// Check that its past 9:45 AM[/COLOR][/FONT] 
[FONT=Courier New][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR] (ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(9, 45, 00))[/FONT] 
[FONT=Courier New]{[/FONT] 
[FONT=Courier New]    [COLOR=#008000]// Calculate the bars ago value for the 9 AM bar for the current day[/COLOR][/FONT] 
[FONT=Courier New]    [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] barsAgo = GetBar([COLOR=#0000ff]new[/COLOR] DateTime(2006, 12, 18, 9, 0, 0));[/FONT] 

[FONT=Courier New]    [COLOR=#008000]// Print out the 9 AM bar closing price[/COLOR][/FONT] 
[FONT=Courier New]    Print("The close price on the 9 AM bar was: " + Close[barsAgo].ToString());[/FONT] 
[FONT=Courier New]}[/FONT]

        GetBar()

        I have been struggling with this one a bit...

        Do I need to use the "To.String" function at all to link the Time to the Rectangle?

            duck_CA,

            Not sure what you are doing. Why are you redefining your Start_Session/Stop_Session variables twice? You should not do this in OnBarUpdate() since you already created these as your parameters.

            Please see the help guide article on this: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/GetBar.html

            Code:
            int startBarsAgo = GetBar(new DateTime(2009, 04, 02, 09, 30, 00));
int endBarsAgo = GetBar(new DateTime(2009, 04, 02, 10, 30, 00));

DrawRectangle("tag1", startBarsAgo, Low[10] - TickSize, endBarsAgo, High[5] + Ticksize, Color.Blue);
