timing arithmetic

[dafonseca]

I am trying to set up a time counter from the opening bell.
so, I code:
if (TimeTo(Time[0]- 93000)< 5000
{
do this
}
debbuging the code I found
95900-93000= 2900 (perfect!! 29 minutes has passed)
and then:
100000-93000 =7000 (not right)
what am I doing wrong???

You are treating Modulo60 arithmetic like decimal arithmetic. Use standard c# DateTime() methods, or else (more cantankerously), use proper Modulo60 arithmetic.

If you do not remember Modular Arithmetic, then you really must have been paying too much attention to something else in skewl. Maybe you were looking for love?

It pretty much uses a clock as the quintessential reference. Heh heh.

Hello dafonseca,

Thanks for your post.

If you have not already resolved the issue, please clarify what you are trying to do. In reading your original post I wondered if you were trying to have an action occur during a certain time period or at a certain time period.

Here is some further info on C# datetime: http://www.dotnetperls.com/datetime

I got the idea and understand my mistake. I will spend some time working on C# datetime, Some code example on NT would save some time.
Let you know.

My link contained a code sample on the first reply

[dafonseca]

lets suppose i want to use your snippet code below. but I want ToTime( 09, 30, 00) and ToTime( 16, 00, 10) to be defined as private variables which can be changed.
how this beginOpentrading would be declared? I trie DateTime but I got some errors.
Another question would be: How can I add 60 minutes to ToTime(9,30,00) and get ToTime(10,30,00).

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
if (ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime( 09, 30, 00) || ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime( 16, 00, 10)) return;
}

Hello dafonseca,

Using the ToTime( 09, 30, 00) example, you can change the specific hours/minutes to integer variables such as : ToTime(starthour, startMinute, 00)
