Some time to index and index to time helper methods made them for another library thought I would try to make them as methods
UTC_helper(utc) UTC helper function this adds the + to the positive utc times, add "UTC" to the string and can be used in the timezone arg of for format_time() Parameters: utc: (int) | +/- utc offset Returns: string | string to be added to the timezone paramater for utc timezone usage
bar_time(bar_amount) from a time to index Parameters: bar_amount: (int) | default - 1) Returns: int bar_time
time_to_index(_time) from time to bar_index Parameters: _time: (int) Returns: int time_to_index | bar_index that corresponds to time provided
time_to_bars_back(_time) from a time quanity to bar quanity for use with [historical ref]. Parameters: _time: (int) Returns: int bars_back | yeilds the amount of bars from current bar to reach _time provided
bars_back_to_time(bars_back) from bars_back to time Parameters: bars_back Returns: int | using same logic as [historical ref.] this will return the time of the bar = to the bar that corresponds to [x] bars_back
index_time(index) bar_index to UNIX time Parameters: index: (int) Returns: int time | time in unix that corrresponds to the bar_index
to_utc(time_or_index, timezone, format) method to use with a time or bar_index variable that will detect if it is an index or unix time and convert it to a printable string Parameters: time_or_index: (int) required) | time in unix or bar_index timezone: (int) required) | utc offset to be appled to output format: (string) | default - "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ") | the format for the time, provided string is default one from str.format_time() Returns: string | time formatted string

v4 bug fixes

v5 Changed: index_time() to index_to_time() so that index_to_time() and time_to_index() closer match in names
Removed: GET(), Format(), Line(), Label(), Box() I'll be releasing a library that has functions that mirror these
@NeonTL8, this seems like it may be a big endeavor but perhaps we can maybe even work on it together.
i was hoping for this feature... if i want 60 bars back (on a 1m chart) prior to 9:35am EST on a US stock ticker, we could be produced with the answer of 3:05 pm EST on the day prior.
9:30am is the cash open, 4:00pm is the cash close.
9:30~9:35 on the day of would take care of 5 bars, 55 bars before yesterday's close would be 3:05.
---
currently, when i do any calculations that provide me a timestamp with a unix number that enters into another session period, anchoring does not work.

@NeonTL8, with the extended hours being different from day to day on common equities, the number of bars back from the start of one day and the end of the previous day is dynamic. oof, what a headache.

@NeonTL8, does it work when you have extended hours showing on chart? I would say if you are wanting to account for the extended and pre session to try and avoid bars back and try to reference with time if you share a snippet of what exactly your trying to do I can help you more

@NeonTL8, thanks m8!

Hi, Is this library can use delay between alerts in seconds
FFriZz
⋅
@hjsjshs, No this library wont help with that specifically.. but unix time is in milliseconds so if you have 2 unix times and you find the difference and divide it by 1000 it would be converted to seconds.. you could use the bar_time function to find the unix time length of a bar (how many milliseconds a bar is) and divide it by 1000 and that should be how man seconds the bar is.. then there would be some math to figure out exactly how long you would want.. just remember the unix time is in milliseconds so an example would be
if timenow > time + 1000
this would only work on live bars though but hope this helps ya

@FFriZz, Thanks for your legendary work, Much appreciate it. I have encountered an issue while adding a library in to my indicator i.e it shows an error can not use global variables in the exported function. do you have any workaround for it?
FFriZz
⋅
@liteshi55, yes i noticed this today I will have it fixed tomorrow I think it has to do with my FrizBug library something Pinescript changed but ill fix it soon thank you for the feedback m8

@liteshi55, I think I got it taken care of make sure you change the version to the newest one and let me know if it was the problem you were encountering. Thank you
