Date & Time Series

[aytacasan]

Hello,

When writing indicator, we can access bar close, open, high, low & volume values via series like this Close[0], for 1 bar ago Close[1]. Also can i access Date & Time series? I mean Date[0], Date[1], Time[0], Time[1].

Thanks.

Hello aytacasan,

Yes, all bars will have a date / time structure accessible with Time[0], Time[1], Time[2], etc.

You can access specific elements (date, hour, seconds, etc) with this Time property. This reference sample can help with this:

Thanks for your response,

So we don't have date[] & time[] series separately. We have only time[] series but time[0] which current bar time contain Date&time values together.

And We can change current bar color via BarColor = Color.Blue. Could you please tell me how can i change bars ago bar bar color property? I mean how can i write this X bars ago bar color = Color.Red.

Regards.

Correct - Time[0] contains the entire date / time structure.

You can use BarColorSeries to change color for the specified number of bars back.

Yes but the documentation does not tell you the contents will all be zero (so useless) if you are using another indicator as input series. See this thread http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=35107
