Referring to Volume bar by 'Time'.

[SNR2012]

How do you identify a bar by the 'time' it closed. I trade on the one hour bar and I want to be able to check a condition on the 3.00 pm bar close. While writing an EFS program, I understand we can refer to bars by 'index' like (0),(-1),(-2) and so on, but how do you refer to a specific bar based on the 'closing time' of that bar?
Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks.

Lookup the time functions:

hour(), minute(), second()

or

getHour(), getMinute(), getSecond()

All of these take the argument pattern:

hour( barIndex [, numBars] [, sym()] [, inv()] )

or

getHour( barIndex [, numBars] [, symbol] )

If your script needs to check whether or not you've started a new day so that you need to reinitialize some variables, you can use this code:

  if (getDay(0) != getDay(-1)
  {
    // you're at the start of a new day
  }
