I'm having difficulty comparing the "bar time" with the chart session times in order to have my trading system only trade within the session time: n_ACSIL::s_ChartSessionTimes SessionTimes;
sc.GetSessionTimesFromChart(sc.ChartNumber, SessionTimes); int BarTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTime(); SCString FormattedMessage; sc.AddMessageToLog(FormattedMessage.Format("BarTime %i, StartTime %i, EndTime %i", BarTime, SessionTimes.StartTime, SessionTimes.EndTime), 0); if(BarTime < SessionTimes.StartTime || BarTime >= SessionTimes.EndTime) return; In the message log I see entries such as... Chart: ESM23-CME[M] 1 Min #1 | Study: ***: BarTime 30540, StartTime 1156760, EndTime 1156848 | 2023-06-20 19:46:53.560
So it looks like the time representation between sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTime() and s_ChartSessionTimes.StartTime is different, though they are the same data type. How can I compare these values?

I figured it out: n_ACSIL::s_ChartSessionTimes SessionTimes;
sc.GetSessionTimesFromChart(sc.ChartNumber, SessionTimes); int BarTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTime(); int StartTime = SessionTimes.StartTime.GetTime(); int EndTime = SessionTimes.EndTime.GetTime(); if(BarTime < StartTime || BarTime >= EndTime) return; |
