Hi bienve.pf,

There is no other way at the moment. Your solution should work fine.

Is there a property / quick method to know how many minutes a TimeFrame has?

I right now I do it in the following way:

var minutes = (Bars [1] .OpenTime - Bars [0] .OpenTime) .TotalMinutes;

// this would be ideal
var m = TimeFrame.Minutes;

this will work on 99.999% of the times, But if it is mission critical .....

On smaller timeframes (e.g. M1) there is not always a tick in every timeframe
=thus=> not a OnBar on every timeframe
=thus=> Bars [1] .OpenTime - Bars [0] .OpenTime could be 2 or more minutes apart!!!

Therefor a TimeFrame Native function like TotalSeconds() would be nice!
