I am attempting to debug and it looks the "sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]" does not seem to work. I put a stop where "exitnow" is set and it never hits... int hour = 0; int minute = 0; int second = 0; bool exitNow; SCDateTime barTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]; barTime.GetTimeHMS(hour, minute, second); if (hour == 15 && minute >= 44 ) { exitNow = true;//never gets here } >> I've had the same issue running live...

What is the timeframe of an individual chart bar?

Add the Bar Numbering study to your chart, set Bar Index input to Yes. Locate a bar where your signal should fire and note its index. Add to your code something like: if (sc.Index == 100) // whatever this # should be { int hour = 0; int minute = 0; int second = 0; SCDateTime barTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index]; barTime.GetTimeHMS(hour, minute, second); SCString msg; msg.Format("%d, %d %d %d", sc.Index, hour, minute, second); sc.AddMessageToLog(msg, 1); } ...or if you build locally, set a breakpoint and inspect your code and find the bug. |
