difference between two times

[trojancd]

I don't think I know how to do the forum query the correct way, I've been trying to search the forums for this particular chunk of code, i'm sure its been written before...but I can't seem to find anything on it.

I need to add a strategy to my system which does the following, here's my psuedo code:

value1 = get close price of xx:39 pm

value2 = get closing price of xx:42 pm

result1 = value2 - value1

if result1 >= 50
go long on close

if result <= -50
go short on close

else if
do nothing

=========
If someone can point me in the right direction, or show me an elegant solution, i'd really appreciate it.

You can use the method GetBar() to get the # of bars ago for a specific time.

pseudo code:

result = Close[GetBar()] - Close[GetBar()];
