Bar timer

[Z]

Hey there,

I was pleased to see that you added a Bar Timer to your indicators with your newest version. I have tried to get it to work and have failed. In the data box next to bar timer it just says "Dummy" in an orange box. What I am doing wrong? Any suggestions?

- bar timer only works as you are connected
- which interval do you have on your chart? 1 minute? different?

what settings should i have for it?

right now, in default, it appears to be the words "bar timer" in the upper left corner of my chart

- are you connected?
- do you see any text displayed in the lower right corner of the chart?
- what are your session begin/end settings?

Thanks. We will look into it and let you know.

Thanks, I have been connected also, to MB Trading. Using 3 and 5 minute charts. I am not getting anything with the bar timer in the lower right hand corner. It just says "bar timer" in the upper left with the other indicatiors, but really no other sign of the bar timer anywhere on the chart. Also I am using trading hours for start and end times. 9:30-4:01 EST.

Thanks for your help.

Guys,

Please find attached a revised version. Please:
- copy attached to <my documents>/NinjaTrader6/bin/Custom/Indicator
- start NT
- Tools->Edit NinjaScript->Indicator->BarTimer->F5 (compile)
- add BarTimer to your chart

Should work better now.

Thanks

Followed your instructions, still no joy.

Before markets opened there was text on the chart to the effect that no timer was being displayed either because there was no connection or the session had not started yet. After market open there is nothing on the chart.

- do you have any other indicators running on the chart? which one?
- is there any funny stuff in the logs?
- what time series are it running on?
- what are your session begin/end settings? which time zone are you in?

Will provide other requested info, if any, later this evening.

Time zone is MDT(Mountain Day Light Time)
Session is 7:30am to 2.15pm MDT
Tried on 3 min, 5 min and 15 min charts on YM
Indicators are pivot, today's OHLC, yeterday's OHLC, indicators provided by MTP
Attached is a snap shot of the errors in the log

Thanks

Thanks for the download. I will give it a try. With the other download the bar timer seemed to work with 24 hour charts only. I will try this one. Thanks for all your help.
