Is there an equivalent to the multi chart function sessionlastbar in tradestation's Easylanguage?

For Minute Bars and standard sessions this function should work (Be sure to choose a Boolean (True/False) as the Return Type for the Function)

Code

{SessionLastBar Function}

{Note - you must specify return type as Boolean}
{Note: NumericSession Type is assumed to be 0 and NumericSession Number is assumed to be 1
corresponding to the SessionEndTime(0,1) input values}

{If you are using sessions where those values need to be changed, then you will have to re-write 
the function with numeric inputs for the session type and session number.}

	If Time = SessionEndTime(0,1) then SessionLastBar = True
Else
	SessionLastBar = False;

Thank you for your response.

Am I correct in my understanding that the session end time corresponds to the session last bar?

Yes. Click on the last bar of a session. The displayed time stamp for that bar is normally the SessionEndTime. However, note that the time stamp of the first bar of a session is not the SessionStartTime, rather it is the SessionStartTime + the Bar Interval. So to find the time stamp of the first bar you could write this code:

Vars:
FirstBarTime(0);

FirstBarTime = CalcTime(SessionStartTime(0,1),BarInterval);

Thank you for your reply.

This is the result of executing the code below using the sessionlastbar function in multichart, but I would like to get the same result in tradestation as in multichart in tradestation.

However, tradestation does not seem to have the sessionlastbar function, but as an alternative, can I use "CalcTime(SessionStartTime(0,1),BarInterval);" to get the same result? Can I get the same result?
