Backtesting: DateTime
11 Jun 2015, 23:20

When backting a cBot, this seems to always return the current time and date:

DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm - MM/dd/yyyy")

How can I get it to return the time and date of the backtested event?

Hi mate, normally i use Server.Time to get the time during the historical events in backtesting. You can see one simpleBot i created which dumps High and Low Time of a bar historically which is using server.Time class ( /algos/cbots/show/864 ) . Hope it helps.
