You are missing the day part in that format
You can not do that that way. Try like this :

   datetime start = StringToTime(TimeToString(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE));

or use the specific time for specific bar instead of the TimeCurrent() to get day part for that bar

yes, this solved..

datetime start = StringToTime("00:00:00");

That way the date might be different from broker time (if I am not mistaken), but try it out
