How can i jump to a specific bar (Number or date) per ninja script? I have added 2 Buttons in the menustrip (PREVIOUS, NEXT) and want to use them as trigger. In the existing code i have a list which is holding the prior chosen bar datetimes.
Finally i want to press the buttons and the chart/cursor moves to/over the target bar and displays the related values of the bar in the data box.

Thanks for some hints, links or code snippets!

It's possible using reflection, see code


public void GoTo( DateTime time)
{
MethodInfo miGoTo = typeof(NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ChartControl).GetMethod( "GoTo", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.IgnoreCase );

if( miGoTo != null )
{
object[] args = { time };
miGoTo.Invoke( ChartControl, args );
}
}
