Need some direction on time functions

[patronus]

I'm trying to create a simple indicator that would put a simple "*" over the 10:00am bar on a 15min chart. What function would I use to find that bar? I've attempted to use the sample for time but I get error hour not defined. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks...Dave

To use date functions you should include DateTimeUtils unit for Delphi. For C++ I am not very familiar with its libraries.

So for Delphi it will look like:

Code: Select all

if (HourOf(Time(index)) = 10) and (MinuteOf(Time(index)) = 0) then
  buff[index] := High(index)
else
  buff[index] ;= 0;

Mike, wouldn't that be:

Code: Select all

HourOf(Time[index])

where the index of the Time array is contained in square brackets, not parentheses?

Open, High, Low, Close and Time are functions. Not real arrays, so they should be used like this Time(index), Open(index + 1).
