  Opentime give the Opening time of the current bar, but is there any instruction for getting the close time of the current bar (for MTF purpose)

  Yes, but there is a problem…

  GetBarindexOpenClose

  timeframe(1 hour, updateonclose) $candleDate[barindex]=date $candleCloseTime[barindex]=time $close[barindex]=close //timeframe(1 hour, default) //save the candlestick date, open and close time in variable arrays //$candleDate[barindex]=date //$candleOpenTime[barindex]=OpenTime //$open[barindex]=open timeframe(default) //get the 10th back 1-hour candlestick info iindex = max(0,lastset($candleDate)-0) idate = $candleDate[iindex] iopen = $candleOpenTime[iindex] iclose = $candleCloseTime[iindex] iopenb = $open[iindex] icloseb = $close[iindex] //Drawrectangle(DateToBarindex(idate*1000000+iopen),iopenb,DateToBarindex(idate*1000000+iclose),icloseb) return iclose

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  timeframe(1 hour, updateonclose) $candleDate[barindex]=date $candleCloseTime[barindex]=time $close[barindex]=close   //timeframe(1 hour, default) //save the candlestick date, open and close time in variable arrays //$candleDate[barindex]=date //$candleOpenTime[barindex]=OpenTime //$open[barindex]=open   timeframe(default) //get the 10th back 1-hour candlestick info iindex = max(0,lastset($candleDate)-0) idate = $candleDate[iindex] iopen = $candleOpenTime[iindex] iclose = $candleCloseTime[iindex] iopenb = $open[iindex] icloseb = $close[iindex]   //Drawrectangle(DateToBarindex(idate*1000000+iopen),iopenb,DateToBarindex(idate*1000000+iclose),icloseb)   return iclose

  If i want the accurate open time, it have to use default and not updateonclose. Otherwise i will get the new hour time at 21h45 (supposing default timeframe is 15 min) and not at 22h

  For th close of the hour, i can get it only at 21h45 (not at 21h or 21h15 or 21h30) even with updateonclose

  So i guess i need to do some math with hours to gt close time of the higher timeframe ? and also the barindex of the new or previous hour open ?

  Thanks
