Getting Time[0] in session template timezone with a supereasy method...?

October 23rd, 2014, 01:59 AM

I am trying to cleanup my code, and make it work in everytimezone. I've checked many forum, about to how to make it simple, but as I see it is not simple, but maybe.
So here is the deal:
I am using 24/7 template to show my tick chart. My indicator only useable on this template anyway, so not a big deal.
I can spot, when the new session is starting that is cool ( Bars.FirstBarOfSession )

But here is the problem. Is there any supereasy way to get SessionTime in the Session Timezone instead of getting Time, on the current timezone? Really It would be superhelpfull to get all the time in the given sessiontemplate session timezone? Checking the time of day, checking is that a weekend or not, checking is that a holiday date or not would be much more easier....

If not, than I guess I have to use @Fat Tail conversition logic, to get the right time...

Thx in advnace

Oke sorry. After some more deeper investigation: here is the answer

Code

				
Print(Bars.GetSessionDateFromLocal(Bars.Session, Time[0]));

Hm, this is stupid, but this function only give back the date, but not the time... I thought it is converting the Time[0] to session time, but not... make no sense. I will use @Fat Tail approach, as I see there is no easy way to do this, only the hard one. Converting the timezone into the session timezone

Oke, here is the solution. It is looks good:

Code

DateTime instrumentSessionDate = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(Time[0], TimeZoneInfo.Local, Bars.Session.TimeZoneInfo);
