You can use MarketSeries.OpenTime collection. Example:

            Print("Last bar time: " + MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(0));
            Print("Previous bar time: " + MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(1));
            //etc.

Thanks for that.

Right now I have this:

 Print("current bar" + (Server.Time - MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(0)));

 Print("Last bar time: " + (MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(0) - MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(1)));

It gives me the data i want to use, but i can not output it as a number because it is in a time stamp format.

22/09/2014 12:24:58.903 | current bar 00:00:40.8500000

I guess my question is how can i use this result and plot it?

This for instance will not work:

Result[index] = (Server.Time - MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(0));

is there a way that my result (in this case 00:00:40.8500000) can be converted to a number of 40.8500000 (seconds).

and also a number like 00:02:28.7800000 can be converted to a number 148.7800000 (seconds)

Thanks

TimeSpan has Property "TotalSeconds"

Result[index] = (Server.Time - MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(0)).TotalSeconds; (as double). you can cast it to integer if you wish.

For more details take a look on MSDN
