Hello SC, i've found this snippet in your ACSIL documentation: SCDateTime StartDateTime = sc.GetTradingDayStartDateTimeOfBar(sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]);
int StartBarIndex = sc.GetContainingIndexForSCDateTime(sc.ChartNumber, StartDateTime); to determine the bar index for the beginning of the "current" session... however, i would need to determine the End of the current session (even if its in the future) too so i searched for a sc.GetTradingDayEndDateTimeOfBar method but it wasnt there... Is there a way to get that session end info? thank you, Andreas |

Just simply add 24 hours - 1 second to StartDateTime.

ha. are you serious? this obviously does not work. sessions are not 24 hours long. US futures start at 8:30 and ends at 15:15. EU futures start and end at different times. ... etc.. and what about the sessions that are shortened due to holidays? no clue how to get the last index of a trading session, which is extremely important for backtesting intraday strategies to prevent holding overnight. i am really wondering that ACSIL API does not provide such an important thing as the last index of a trading session. there are tons of fairly useless functions but the most important ones are not there. quite sad (: Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-05-05 15:26:26
