Getting Current Time on Daily Chart

[bigtee]

I use the below on intraday charts to retrieve the current bar time:

var vTime = (getHour()*100)+ getMinute(); // get current time

This expression does not actually return the current time, but rather the start time of the current bar.

This technique doesn't work on a Daily chart because there is only one bar. So you always get the start time of the day.

How would one retrieve the actual current time so it can be compared to a preset time and then make something happen on a Daily chart?

For example
if (vTime > XX) Do Y;

Here is one way of retrieving the current system time. The resulting value should be hhmmss
Alex

var vDate = new Date();

    var vHr = vDate.getHours()+"";
    if (vHr <10) 
        vHr = 0+vHr;

    var vMin = vDate.getMinutes()+"";
    if (vMin < 10) 
        vMin = 0+vMin

    var vSec = vDate.getSeconds()+"";
    if(vSec < 10) 
        vSec = 0+vSec;

    var vTime = vHr+vMin+vSec;

Thanks Alex.
This works. I now get the correct time.

FYI, what I am attempting to do is force a timed recalculation of an efs on a Daily chart. It is fairly compute intensive, and I don't need it to update every tick, so I am trying to make it recalculate at specific times throughout the day, like maybe every hour on the hour. It should work now but I won't know for sure until Monday.

Thanks again.
