How can you change time stored in a variable as unix to candle id

[jstap]

iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,"time value",false);

[OD]

@jstap I tried it but it still doesnt convert

Try replace D"your time" with StrToTime("your time")

[jstap]

Exactly I only used " " to show the section to replace with your time, ultimately that code is expecting seconds after 1970

[OD]

@jstap Do you mean it cant be possible or...?

[OD]

@sktsec okay i'll try that

[jstap]

No what I mean is: iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,StrToTime(2024.03.11 08:58),false); Put that in a comment using text code input and look at what's returned, make sure the date time used is on the current screen

@jstap I've tried it but still it doesn't work.https://fxdreema.com/shared/RADijXQ1d.

@jstap Plus I want to convert the time when it is already stored in a variable as a UNIX value to candle ID

[jstap]

Remove ID= and put a value into UNIX

[OD]

@jstap The UNIX variable shouldn't change but its time value is to be converted to a candle id in this case to a variable called ID where it should be 5 if succesfull.

[jstap]

You are doing nothing with it so it's 0

For this example show how I can get the candle ID of UNIX time variable...kindly show in the example

[jstap]

There is 2 examples in this, 1 to put in a variable, and 1 to draw line
