I've found some EFS code on here which allows me to have a bar timer. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be continuous and is dependant upon movement in the chart. Is there anyway around this to guarantee a countdown even if new data is not being transmitted?

yes, a continual loop. But I don't suggest you try it.
The issue with a continual loop is you could get into a position where you dramatically slow down esignal.
A continual loop may create a problem where your computer maxes CPU load while waiting (looping).
What is is you are waiting for? What are you trying to accomplish?

Just looking for a continuous timer that will tell me when the bar is closed. I used the non continuous timer today on the E-Mini and it wasn't that bad since it is highly liquid, but on instruments that are not as liquid I could possibly see this being more of a problem.Originally posted by Doji3333

All I would like is a bar timer that is continuous so that I know that if I am going to be entering I am not entering my position until I know for sure that the previous bar has closed. Also, I like to know when the bar is about to close so that I can be ready to enter my order in case the market makes a fast move.
Is running a background timer thread an option that updates every second?Comment
