SCDateTime vs SCDateTimeMS in Persistent Variables

Heya SC Engineers, I've got a quick question for ya. I record pivot point SCDateTimes for later reference, in Persistent Variables. As I now realize that I actually need to have millisecond data in there as well, I tried to see if I could use SCDateTimeMS as a persistent variable. It was giving me errors when I tried to do that. If I pull the SCDateTimeMS, will it be possible for me to stuff that into the SCDateTime persistent variables, to make sure I'm getting the correct candle in later calculations? Is there a way to easily pull the candle's index from a SCDateTimeMS? Hopefully I am describing my question well enough. I hope to hear from you soon! |

Yes this will work. Just assign it to a SCDateTime when setting it into the persistent variable and assign it back to a SCDateTimeMS after getting it out of the persistent variable.There are functions for getting a bar index from a Date-Time.

Sounds great. So, when it comes to getting the index, is the parameter located at peakTwoDT in my following code able to use SCDateTime and SCDateTimeMS interchangably, SCDateTimeMS giving me a more precise answer based on the MS? sc.GetContainingIndexForSCDateTime(sc.ChartNumber, peakTwoDT)

We have looked into this, and we see a minor problem with how the comparison is being done. It is being done using a standard double rather than one of the SCDateTime and SCDateTimeMS types. With the way it works now, there is a slight amount of imprecision. This will be solved in the next release and it will always use SCDateTimeMS. So you can pass in either.
