Time Marker

[Alan2004]

Good Morning,

The attached EFS is a modified version of the Time Marker developed by Alex. Seconds have been added to the time. Am I correct in assuming the time is from eSignal and not from my computer?

If yes, is it possible to read into EFS the current time from my computer?

If yes, how would I compare the two times to detect time lags like the ones experienced this morning on YM?

Best Regards,

Alan

Am I correct in assuming the time is from eSignal and not from my computer?

The times you are retrieving using getHour(), getMinute(), etc are bar times and represent the start times of a bar.

is it possible to read into EFS the current time from my computer?

You can access the system time (ie your computer's time) using the Date Object

how would I compare the two times to detect time lags like the ones experienced this morning on YM?

I am not sure but I don't think this is possible
