# TimeValue

An enumeration that defines predefined time values in 15-minute intervals throughout a 24-hour day. This enum is useful for setting specific times of day in indicators and strategies.

## Overview

`TimeValue` provides a complete set of time values from `00:00` to `23:59`, with values at every 15-minute interval. This makes it convenient to select specific times of day for trading sessions, alerts, or time-based calculations.

## Values

The enum includes the following time values in 15-minute increments:

| Time Range    | Values                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

## Example Usage

```typescript
// Define trading session start and end times
const sessionStartTime = TimeValue["09:00"];
const sessionEndTime = TimeValue["17:00"];

// Use in indicator parameter
this.api.RegOption("Session Start", TOptionType.TIME_ONLY, this.SessionStart);

// Check if current bar time matches a specific time
const barTime = this.api.Time(index);
const timeOfDay = this.getTimeOfDayString(barTime);

if (timeOfDay === TimeValue["09:30"]) {
  // Perform action at market open
}

// Set alert time
const alertTime = TimeValue["15:45"];
```
