  Hello,
  can the DateToBarindex instruction work in a code but not only with a graphical purpose?

  Let’s say, if I define:

        mySessionStartBarIndex=DateToBarindex(YYYYMMDDHHMMSS)

  with YYYYMMDDHHMMSS matching the date and hour of a market opening time, then would this return a corresponding index?

  As it seems not then what would be the solution to get a workeable index ?

  Thanks

  Yes, it cannot assign values to variables, only the other way round is possible:

  x = 20240827140000 drawvline(DateToBarIndex(x)) //fine y = DateToBarIndex(x) //Not supported return

  1 2 3 4

  x = 20240827140000 drawvline(DateToBarIndex(x)) //fine y = DateToBarIndex(x)        //Not supported return
