Number of days loaded on a chart

[vindiou]

Hi,

Is there a way on NT8 to access "days to load" in the Data Series, programatically?
I need to know the number of days loaded.

Thanks

Hello vindiou,

Thank you for your note.

This would not be supported however you could write a method to subtract the date of the first bar of the series from the last bar of the series.

For example,

if(CurrentBar<10) return;
DateTime StartDate = Time[CurrentBar-1];
DateTime EndDate = Time[0];
int Days=(int)(EndDate - StartDate).TotalDays;			
Print(Days.ToString());

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello AaronKoRn,

To confirm, you have tried the code in post #2 and this is not giving you a calculation of the number of days loaded?

[AaronKoRn]

Most of the time is off by 1 day
and I also wanna change the number of days is I don’t have enough bars

mainly because the Delta ninjatrader order flow indicator require days to be loaded and not bars

Hello AaronKoRn,

Changing the data series from code is not supported.

What is the date and time of the first bar update and last bar update?
What has the suggested code in post # 2 calculated as the number of days?

Please print this information and provide the output saved to a text file with your next post.
