How to get the time value of a bar during back testing
08 May 2023, 14:59

I am back testing a strategy in cAlgo. How do I get the time value of the current tick/bar that is in the past.

I am using Server.Time.ToLocalTime(); this is not working always . Something there is a 1 hour difference because of the timezone difference.

Thanks. How do I get the time value of the current bar from this list. 

Bars.OpenTimes  is a list of datetime values . Is it Bars.OoenTimes[0]?
