Functions
time()
Returns the opening time of the current bar in UNIX milliseconds, measured on `interval` rather than on the chart's own bars. With `session`, it returns `na` for bars outside that session, which makes it the usual test for whether a bar falls in a trading window. `timezone` sets the time zone the session is read in. `bars_back` and `interval_bars_back` look back a number of chart bars or interval bars respectively.
