Printing DayOfWeek

[Sniff]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a strategy that will (among other things) write the day of week to the output window. I'm trying the following but it doesn't seem to work:

Print(Time[0].DayOfWeek)

Is that not the right format? I also tried Print(Time[0].DayOfWeek.ToString) but that's asking for an Object Reference also (I thought Time[0] was the object?).

Thanks,

Sniff

Hello Sniff,

Thanks for your post.

The code Print(Time[0].DayOfWeek) works. The code Print(Time[0].DayOfWeek.ToString) will work if you add () to the ToString, for example: Print(Time[0].DayOfWeek.ToString())

Here is an example I tested (on 1 minute bars) with and the example output.

			if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(0, 0, 0) && ToTime(Time[0]) <= ToTime(0, 0, 1))
			{
				Print ("Day using ToString() " + Time[0].DayOfWeek.ToString());
				Print ("Day w/o ToString() " + Time[0].DayOfWeek);
			}

Day using ToString() Monday
Day w/o ToString() Monday
Day using ToString() Tuesday
Day w/o ToString() Tuesday
Day using ToString() Wednesday
Day w/o ToString() Wednesday
Day using ToString() Thursday
Day w/o ToString() Thursday
Day using ToString() Friday
Day w/o ToString() Friday
Day using ToString() Monday
Day w/o ToString() Monday
Day using ToString() Tuesday
Day w/o ToString() Tuesday
Day using ToString() Wednesday
Day w/o ToString() Wednesday

Thanks Paul! Print(Time[0].DayOfWeek.ToString()) worked great.
