Get current time (Seconds or MS precision) of current feed (nstead of DateTime.Now)

[ttodua]

I used something like this:

DateTime now = Connection.PlaybackConnection != null ? Connection.PlaybackConnection.Now : DateTime.Now;

to get current time, but i see that it's faulty.
If i am not in MarketReplay, then it gets DateTime.Now, which is 1 minute (or i.e. 36 seconds or whatever) different that feed's time.
How to get current real-time from feed-data?

I've been thinking about: "Cbi.Connection.Connections[0].Now", but i dont know which connection index is used by current chart symbol.

Hello TazoTodua,

Are you asking how the get the time of the bar?

Thats the Time[0] object which is a DateTime object which for NinjaTrader 8 has millesecond granularity if thats what you are printing in your print.

If you want each tick then add a 1 tick series.

Below is a link to the help guide on the Time[0] object.

Oh ChelseaB, no, TIme[0] is irrelevant. Let's say i have a hourly chart open and attached indicator(set OnEachTick):

then time[0] just prints, i.e.:

14:00:00
15:00:00
(if live bar, then it prints multiple times, on each time
16:00:00
16:00:00
...
etc...

I Dont want to get bar's closing time, i want the live time, how can i explain it better i donno.
like:

15:33:54
15:33:55
etc...

in the second granularity, without need of using `AddDataSeries`. Just using with OnEaechTick should be enough. I've described in question how i could.

Hello TazoTodua,

If you want each tick's time then add a 1 tick series.

Or get the time of the update in OnMarketData().

How to get time of current update (when not using AddDataSeries) in OnMarketData?

Hello TazoTodua,

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs marketDataUpdate)
{
    Print(marketDataUpdate.Time);
}

Excellent! probably somehow there could be accessible last update time from OnBarUpdate too, i will try to find something.
