Trade Timer

[dloomis]

Ever wonder how long you have been in a trade? mee too

I found an efs by Alex which showed the elapsed time from the start of the bar and I modified it to include a button, which resets to 00:00 when it is clicked.

Seems to work ok, but sometimes it does not reset to 0 until after a few clicks.

Maybe some one can see the errors of my ways.

Hope all have a safe and prosperous new year!

Hello David,

All you need to do is call main() from your resetDuration() function to force a redraw of the text label. Remember that main() only gets executed when a trade occurs. That's why there was a delay between your click and the update of the label.

function resetDuration() {
reset=0;
main();
}

Hello David,

One more thing for your here. If you want the button to show the amount of time elapsed since you last clicked the button you need to also set vTimeStamp = vClockTime. Otherwise it will show you the time elapsed from the start of the bar.

if (reset == 0) {
    //vTimeStamp = getValue("Time")*1 ;
    vTimeStamp = vClockTime;
    reset=1;
}
