Is there anyway to see how long it takes for a Renko Bar to complete? Sometime it could be 2sec or 2 hours would like to incorporate it into my auto trading study. Thanks |

1, You have access to both open and close time of each bar, to access close time sc.MaintainAdditionalChartDataArrays has to be true; 2, Each subgraph has 12 arrays can be used as any purpose, you can use one of them to store duration of each bar, (maybe you could just use subgraph array, I am not sure) Something like this: SCSFExport scsf_YourStudyName(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCFloatArrayRef BarDuration = sc.Subgraph[0].Arrays[0]; if (sc.SetDefaults) { //other of your codes sc.MaintainAdditionalChartDataArrays = 1; // has to be 1, in order for sc.BaseDataEndDateTime to work } //other of your codes for (int IndexCount=sc.Index; IndexCount>=0; IndexCount--){ SCDateTime DateTimeVariable; DateTimeVariable = sc.BaseDataEndDateTime[IndexCount] - sc.BaseDateTimeIn[IndexCount]; BarDuration[IndexCount] = DateTimeVariable.GetTimeInSeconds(); } } To find out how long it takes in seconds for Renko Bar No.xxx to complete, for example: is the value of BarDuration[xxx], Sorry, I haven't test it, but fairly confident that direction will lead to the result you want (2-sec duration bar has the value of 2.00 and 2-hour duration bar has the value 7200.00) If you just want to know the duration of last bar only, then it would be much simpler, you don't need an array, just sc.BaseDataEndDateTime[sc.Index] - sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index], which I have tested and works.
