Need some help - finf the closing time of the last bar

[Deleted] 2008.01.15 10:34

Hi all

I'm trying to get the close time (or open time) of the last closed bar (in 30m graph)

I'm using the iTIME function and it doesnt work :

if (iTime( NULL, PERIOD_M30, 1) = H'01:30') .......

any other way to get this information ??

thank you

if (iTime( NULL, PERIOD_M30, 1) = H'01:30') .......

iTime returns a datetime integer, not a text string, so the comparison may not be valid

What you wrote could be properly restated as

if(TimeHour(iTime( NULL, PERIOD_M30, 1) ) == 1 && TimeMinute(iTime( NULL, PERIOD_M30, 1) ) == 30) .......

Maybe

if (iTime( NULL, PERIOD_M30, 1) = D'01:30') .......

would work
