    Hi, Is it possible to reference a candle by time OR access a timestamp for a specific candle?

    The reason I ask, is I have a strategy that works well on Indices, however, sometimes the candle I use at a specific time as a reference doesn’t exist. This presents a challenge if blindly counting back candles from now to the reference time and changes how the strategy is executed.

    Hi,

    I don’t think time, or a timestamp will help you determine whether a particular reference exists…

    Suppose you work with a daily time frame and you always want to look back two weeks, you can of course use Close[10] as a reference…

    Or, for example, for a fixed reference:

    If Reference=0 then

    ReferenceBar = BarIndex – 10

    Reference=1

    EndIf
