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.

Example Usage

// 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']
