Can you add support for milliseconds for sc.GetContainingIndexForSCDateTime

Can you add support for milliseconds (SCDateTimeMS as input ) for sc.GetContainingIndexForSCDateTime ?
On lower timeframes of volume/nr of trades charts the second resolution is not enough and have duplicate indexes for same SCDateTime.

Thanks

This is already the case. This function supports precision to microseconds. Is there any documentation which says otherwise?

if I input a SCDateTime variable works ok but the resolution is at 1 second as that is the limitations of SCDateTime , if I input a SCDateTimeMS variable give me an error.

SCDateTime has precision to microseconds.

SCDateTimeMS is the same as SCDateTime. They are identical and have been that way for years now.

There is some out of date documentation regarding SCDateTimeMS/SCDateTime and comparisons, but we have now updated that. Comparisons are always to the microsecond for many years now.

so, I have this example code


********************************************************************************************************/

#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("Test9999")


void WriteIntToLog (SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, const int integervalue, SCString Label)
{
  SCString Messagetw;
  Messagetw.Format(" %s : %i", Label.GetChars(), integervalue);
  sc.AddMessageToLog(Messagetw, 1);
}

void WriteFloatToLog (SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, const float floatvalue, SCString Label)
{
  SCString Messagetwf;
  Messagetwf.Format(" %s : %f", Label.GetChars(), floatvalue);
  sc.AddMessageToLog(Messagetwf, 1);
}

/****************************************************************************/
SCSFExport scsf_Test9999(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  
  if (sc.SetDefaults)
{
sc.GraphName = "Test9999";
    sc.StudyDescription = "More info pls DM me at https://twitter.com/MnuchinB";

    sc.AutoLoop = 1;
sc.GraphRegion = 0;
    sc.ValueFormat = VALUEFORMAT_INHERITED;
    // sc.MaintainHistoricalMarketDepthData = 1;
// sc.UsesMarketDepthData = 1;


  }

  // Data processing

  // WriteIntToLog(sc, i, "");
  // WriteFloatToLog(sc, f, "");


  // E.G.
int CurrentBarDate = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetDate();
int CurrentBarTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTimeInMilliseconds();

SCDateTime DateTime(CurrentBarDate ,CurrentBarTime );
int Index = sc.GetContainingIndexForSCDateTime(sc.ChartNumber, DateTime);
WriteIntToLog(sc, Index, "Index");


}

it should iterate thru the sc.Index from 0 to sc.ArraySize - 1
instead this is the log, all past indexes are all over the place, once it gets on live data works as it should

This is wrong:


int CurrentBarDate = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetDate();
int CurrentBarTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTimeInMilliseconds();

SCDateTime DateTime(CurrentBarDate ,CurrentBarTime );

It needs to be:



SCDateTime DateTime=sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index] ;

So the code above works as it should if I use GetTime() instead of GetTimeinMilliseconds() but I’m limited to the second resolution.
Tried GetTimeAsDouble() same issue.
Problem is this goes out of sierra and then gets imported back , how do I safely convert a SCDateTime variable to a combination of integers and back to a SCDateTime variable that will allow me to use the above function?

You are not using the right constructor. The constructor you are using takes the time as seconds only.

We are not sure exactly what you want to do, but you should not be obtaining the Date-Time value as two separate integers. You can use these member functions to work with a single 64-bit integer:
inline int64_t GetInternalDateTime() const
    {
      return m_dt;
    }

    inline void SetInternalDateTime(int64_t InternalDateTimeValue)
    {
      m_dt = InternalDateTimeValue;
    }

Oh, so the constructer is limited to seconds.
What I’m trying to do - is to export a subgraph to a file and then reload it on the chart for backtest purposes ( is based on market depth and pull/stack calculations and will need a replay and long time loading to rebuild). I’ll post the code tomorrow.

No, the constructor is not limited to seconds. You are using a constructor that takes the Time as seconds.

There are multiple constructors. You are using the wrong one.

We do not need to see the code unless you want to share it with others.

I'll share it on my sierra charts discord anyway , this is the code , I put the fast CSV header too - source https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser ( please excuse my syntax - I'm a hobbyist not a programmer by trade)
