Real Time ?

[marynja]

Hello NT friends.

I am trying to print the real time (include seconds) in my indicator, but only can show the bar time.

This is my OnBarUpdate code:

Time[0].Hour + ":" + Time[0].Minute + ":" + Time[0].Second

I tried with this to:

DateTime.Now..Hour + ":" +DateTime.Now..Minute + ":" + DateTime.Now..Second


Could you help me please ?
Thank you !

Hello,

You are on the right track with your idea to use a new DateTime object. It looks like the only thing you are missing is a call to ToString() after each property of the object, as in the code below:

private DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			Print(now.ToString());
			Print(now.Hour.ToString());	
        }

For more information on the properties and instantiation of DateTime objects, please see the link below:

private DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Print(now.ToString());
Print(now.Minute.ToString());
Print(now.Second.ToString());
}

Hello,

If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like you are looking for a timer that updates outside of OnBarUpdate(), so that it updates on a regular interval of one second.

You can do this by creating a C# Timer object, then passing in an event handler that will draw the time on your chart (or wherever you would like to display it). I've uploaded a sample script that will show how to set this up.

One thing to note -- I'm using standard numeric format strings in the calls to ToString(), so that the hour, minute, and second will always display two digits each. More information on standard numeric format strings can be found at the link below:
