I use range bars so number of bars differ based on volatility. I use this code to count bars between 8.30 and 9.30 for previous 3 days but this method seems kinda slow.. would you please suggest a more effective way in respect of how SC operates? // last X days session bar counter
if (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus(sc.Index) == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED) { int total_sum = 0; int this_day_sum = 0; int daysCounter = 0; // Counting bars backwards for (int i = sc.Index; i >= 0; i--) { // This bar time int BarTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[i].GetTime(); int BarDate = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[i].GetDate(); // Prev bar time int BarTimePrevious = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[i - 1].GetTime(); // Counting bars in session if (BarDate < sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetDate() && BarTime >= HMS_TIME(SessionStartHour.GetInt(), SessionStartMinute.GetInt(), 0) && BarTime < HMS_TIME(SessionEndHour.GetInt(), SessionEndMinute.GetInt(), 0)) this_day_sum++; // Session START met - reset daily counter if (BarDate < sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetDate() && BarTimePrevious < HMS_TIME(SessionStartHour.GetInt(), SessionStartMinute.GetInt(), 0) && BarTime >= HMS_TIME(SessionStartHour.GetInt(), SessionStartMinute.GetInt(), 0)) { total_sum += this_day_sum; this_day_sum = 0; daysCounter++; } if (daysCounter >= DaysToCountBars.GetInt()) break; } int barCounterAvg = round(total_sum / DaysToCountBars.GetInt()); SCString barCounterBars; barCounterBars.Format("BarsAvg(%i): %i", DaysToCountBars.GetInt(), barCounterAvg); if (DisplayBarCounter.GetYesNo() == 1) sc.AddAndManageSingleTextUserDrawnDrawingForStudy(sc, 0, 30, 50, BarCounter, 0, barCounterBars, 1, 0, 0); } Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-09-28 13:19:16

With sc.AutoLoop set to 1, the above code will loop set through all the bars between 0, and current bar sc.Index, for each bar. So the loop for (int i = sc.Index; i >= 0; i--) can be removed along with suitable changes to the // Counting bars in session if check. With sc.AutoLook set to 0, code looks fine. |
