Hello memonolog,

You can use general C# like the TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime() to convert a DateTime object from your local PC time to another time zone.

Below is a publicly available link to the Microsoft documentation.

I'm trying to convert time from example, I don't understand what's wrong

private DateTime startDateTime;
private DateTime endDateTime;
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Check to make sure the end time is not earlier than the start time
if (EndHour < StartHour)
return;


//Do not calculate the high or low value when the ending time of the desired range is less than the current time of the bar being processed
if (ToTime(EndHour,EndMinute,0) > ToTime(Time[0]))
return;

[B]DateTime ExchangeDateTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(Time[0], ("Eastern Standard Time"));[/B]


// If the stored date time date is not the same date as the bar time date, create a new DateTime object
if (startDateTime.Date != Time[0].Date)
{
startDateTime = new DateTime([B]ExchangeDateTime[/B].Year, [B]ExchangeDateTime[/B].Month, [B]ExchangeDateTime[/B].Day, StartHour, StartMinute, 0);
endDateTime = new DateTime([B]ExchangeDateTime[/B].Year, [B]ExchangeDateTime[/B].Month, [B]ExchangeDateTime[/B].Day, .EndHour, EndMinute, 0);
}

// Calculate the number of bars ago for the start and end bars of the specified time range
int startBarsAgo = Bars.GetBar(startDateTime);
int endBarsAgo = Bars.GetBar(endDateTime);

/* Now that we have the start and end bars ago values for the specified time range we can calculate the highest high for this range

Note: We add 1 to the period range for MAX and MIN to compensate for the difference between "period" logic and "bars ago" logic.
"Period" logic means exactly how many bars you want to check including the current bar.
"Bars ago" logic means how many bars we are going to go backwards. The current bar is not counted because on that bar we aren't going back any bars so it would be "bars ago = 0" */
double highestHigh = MAX(High, endBarsAgo - startBarsAgo + 1)[CurrentBar - endBarsAgo];

// Now that we have the start and end bars ago values for the specified time range we can calculate the lowest low for this range
double lowestLow = MIN(Low, endBarsAgo - startBarsAgo + 1)[CurrentBar - endBarsAgo];

// Set the plot values
HighestHigh[0] = highestHigh;
LowestLow[0] = lowestLow;
}

the task is to indicate the work of the indicator in full time regardless of the local time

something like

// TIME US
DateTime ExchangeDateTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(Time[0], ("Eastern Standard Time"));

if (ToTime(ExchangeDateTime) == 093000)
{
if (IsFirstTickOfBar)
{
OpenRTH = Close[0];
}
}

Hello memonolog,

I'm not certain that I understand. NinjaTrader already converts all data to your local time zone.

You are trying to convert to a specific time zone that does not match the local time zone?

When you mention something is wrong, are you seeing error? Is the time zone not being converted?

I want to convert the local time of my PC during the exchange by the exchange time zone, and run the start time of the indicator calculation by the exchange time and not the local time

Hello memonolog,

Are you printing ExchangeDateTime and this is not printing the time of the bar in Eastern Time?

Print(string.Format("Time[0]: {0}, ExchangeDateTime: {1}", Time[0], ExchangeDateTime));
