How to find the first bar of de session in tradestation, in tick charts?
for example: I want to find de first bar starting at 18:00 and the close of this.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
there are many ways to accomplish what you have in mind. One way could be to check if the Time > 1800 and only allow this check to be true once per day using a boolean variable that you reset on a date change. Another approach could be to use the built-in function CurrentSession and monitor for changes in its return value compared to the previous bar's return value. This will signal a new session.
it might work on a five minute chart, but you could run into problems in case there are one or more missing bars during the day. Apart from that, it will be problematic with non time based bars (like tick bars that Carlera seems to be using).
