First, I want to congratulate you on WL 5.1. I think having a single integrated platform will be a big boon to speed and stability, especially with automated trading. I think people are overestimating the amount of C# that they need to learn as I don't see the need (as a non-C# programmer) to learn all of C# to do the limited applications required for most scripting.

I would appreciate a small primer on using time based strategies in C#. Specifically, I use a strategy that buys stocks only in the time period between 9:55 am and 13:00. I have used the gettime(bar) function in WL 4, but would like to learn how to get similar results in WL 5.1. It looks like the time must be extracted from the date function to me. I think that time based criteria would be a good thing to add to the strategy builder, which now only has date and day criteria in the date/time section.

Thanks,

Marty

You can continue to use GetTime in WL5. ;) Here's the function:

And an example:

Think .NET for Math Functions.

Thanks. I'll paste that into my strategies, so that I can use the old familiar syntax.
