Time estimate

[Papercut110]

Good day, please tell me how to compare the time of the opening of the last two bars prices using bartype "range"?

Hello Papercut, and thank you for your question.

With NinjaScript, we do not actually have to filter any data through our bars. We have access to raw, uninterpreted price data. The difference between the price of the last two bars is simply

Last[0] - Last[1]

The order I picked is the price of the most recent bar, minus the price of the 2nd most recent bar, so that a positive value means the market is trending upward, and a negative value means the market is trending downward. If you do not care which way the market is trending and just want to know how big the change was, that is

Math.Abs(Lasts[0] - Last[1])

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.
