Help: Datetime everyday at 00:00 or find 00:00 bar index on each new bar

[eric]

I try to use an indicator logic in my strategy.

I need to find the number of bars back to midnight 00:00 to calculate my indicator, on each new bar

Now the indicator does this :

int FindStartIndex(datetime startDate)
{
for (int i=Bars-1; i>=0; i--)
{
if (Time[i]>=StartDate) return (i);
}
return( 0);

}

How can I make this more simple ?

Thanks in advance.
