Hi Paul Hayes,

Thank you very much for your reply. 

I already have here in my files, this code also doesnt do what i want.
I currently have exporting on OnBar(1 minute timeframe) wich is where the strategy runs, but i want to export hourly.

Thank you again.

one option is to create a timer that runs every 60 mins and this timer will have an event handler method that will get called, in this method you save your values, this way you can have a 1-min TF on the chart, but the data is saved every hour.

Just Google the C# Timer class for examples on how to implement.

For further help post of Stackoverflow.

Hi Paul,

That's a good ideia. I will creat a timer to export hourly.

Thank you again!

If someone needs the solucion:
 

using System.Timers;

(...)

int lastHour;

(...)

protected override void OnStart()
{
     var aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(1000); //1000 = One second. (use less to add precision, use more to consume less processor time
     lastHour = DateTime.Now.Hour;
     aTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);
}

private void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
     if (lastHour < DateTime.Now.Hour || (lastHour == 23 && DateTime.Now.Hour == 0))
     {
          lastHour = DateTime.Now.Hour;
          YourImportantMethod(); // Call The method with your important staff..
     }

}
