Hi,

I am using custom sessions and need to know the end time of the bar because I need to export this in a csv file.
e.g.
00:00:00 Start Time
00:59:59 End Time
Bar Period Type Setting 60M

In this example the BET value is 0.08, However, when I change the timeperiod to 1D instead of 60M, I get a different value for BET. I am expecting BET would be the same in both examples irrispective of the Bar Chart Period as both have 1 bar and the end time is the same.

All I am trying to achieve here is to get access to End Time of a session to export to CSV.

The Bar End Time study is being updated in the next version to give a precise value for the bar ending time.

I can see you changed the Bar End Time to display last trade timestamp however there is still a problem.

When I use write bar and study data to file, I am still seeing a decimal e.g. 0.9270138740539551. Of course I have tried dividing by 0.0000115741 in third party language but this is very inaccurate and the Time I'm getting is 22:14:53 for 0.9270138740539551. On the End Time Bar Study it is showing 22:14:59. There is 7 minutes difference!

I was hoping that the study would have a subgraph to export the Date and Time stamps as a string representation of the Bar end time. Date is also important as the time when the close is on a different day.

Is this possible please?

Thank you
