How To Use iTime in The Future

[[Deleted]]

I want to start the calculation of ShiftTime from spesific datetime in the future for BeginTime and skip calculation in current time before BeginTime (return nothing).

datetime BeginTime = D'2018.09.01 00:00';
datetime ShiftTime = iTime(NULL, PERIOD_MN1, 1);

I try this code, is it correct?

int ShiftBar=iBarShift(NULL, PERIOD_MN1, BeginTime);
datetime ShiftTime = iTime(NULL, PERIOD_MN1, ShiftBar+1);

Please advice me. Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the answer but I am not got your point. What's the meaning of red & yellow highlight?

I want to ignore previous 1 month until  specified date (BeginTime), in this case is 1 September 2018 and start this calculation from specified date (BeginTime) and then calculate previous 1 month from that date continuously into future.

Here's the full code:

datetime BeginTime = D'2018.09.01 00:00';
datetime ShiftTime = iTime(NULL, PERIOD_MN1, 1);

int ShiftBar=iBarShift(NULL, PERIOD_MN1, BeginTime);
datetime EndTime = iTime(NULL, PERIOD_MN1, ShiftBar+1);

for(int i=0; i<OrdersHistoryTotal(); i++)
{
        if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY))
        {
                if(OrderOpenTime() >= EndTime)
                {
                        totalLots += OrderLots();
                }
        }
}

if (totalLots<1.0)
{
        Alert("Total Lot less than 1.0 lot");
        return(1);
}

Here's the full code:

1. Your Begin Time is not yet arrive (according to server time).
2. int ShiftBar is exactly 1.
3. datetime EndTime is 2 months back (read timeseries on iTime)
