Need year,month,day,hour,minute as one number

[larrydudash]

Need year month day hour minute as one number.
So I can compare as bars go by

(1) Please define BUY4DATE
(2) Please define SELL5DATE
(3) So I can use in compare like

if(SELL5DATE > BUY4DATE) { then calc %gain}

...........EXAMPLE....................

if(close(0) > 6MA)
{
BUY4DATE = ???? that has year,month,day,hour,minute of the
current bar
}

PS: I do not want some one to do a new study
Just want to know how to define a bar's year,month,day,hour,minute as "one number"

Hello larrydudash,

Sounds like the rawtime() function might do the trick.

if(close(0) > 6MA)
{
BUY4DATE = rawtime(0);
}
