NinjaTrader TimeZoneInfo NT8

[zweistein]

Hello,

it is about the global function NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.Now

DateTime t= NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.Now

I see that the DateTime Kind of the result is undefined, is this done on purpose?

I am asking because using another internal NT8 function I have time as a parameter.
I supplied a Kind local and Kind utc and those calls fail saying in trace:

The function i question is NinjaTrader.Cbi.Execution.DbGet

The conversion could not be completed because the supplied DateTime did not have the Kind property set correctly. For example, when the Kind property is DateTimeKind.Local, the source time zone must be TimeZoneInfo.Local. Parameter name: sourceTimeZone


, found it : Needs Kind unspecified to work

Hello zweistein,

Thanks for opening the thread.

NinjaTrader.Core.Globals and NinjaTrader.Cbi.Execution.DbGet are not documented and there would not be any direction we could give for their usage. These methods and properties maybe subject to change internally. We welcome our users to develop creative scripts and we do not discourage using these undocumented parts of the platform. However, please keep in mind that we cannot provide support for them.

That said, it sounds like you have resolved your inquiry. I will have your other thread in the NinjaTrader 7 forum closed as you have created another thread here.

If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please let us know.
