I know this sounds basic, but it isn't obvious how to get a "DateTime" from the current bar.
What is the best way to get the "date and time" for the current bar and make a string out of it? (presumably using DateTimeToString())
DateTime for current bar?

Access to number of decimal places in a price?
The following code seems to produce an approximation to a text-formatted bar and works on TS and MC:
Now it begs the question, is there any way to find out programmatically how many decimal places a given symbol uses for the price? e.g. YM uses 0 and ES uses 2.
Code: Select all
priceBarString = ElDateToString(Date) +
"," + NumToStr(Time, 0 ) +
"," + NumToStr(Open, NumDecimals) +
"," + NumToStr(High, NumDecimals) +
"," + NumToStr(Low, NumDecimals) +
"," + NumToStr(Close, NumDecimals) +
"," + NumToStr(Volume, 0)
;
