SessionIterator sessionIterator; protected override void OnStateChange() { if (State == State.Historical) { sessionIterator = new SessionIterator(Bars); } } protected override void OnBarUpdate() { // on new bars session, find the next trading session if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession) { // use the current bar time to calculate the next session sessionIterator.GetNextSession(Time[0], true); Print("The current session start time is " + sessionIterator.ActualSessionBegin); } }

SessionIterator sessionIterator;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.Historical)
{
