Playback Question

[Chris747]

Howdy,
I download and play back the tick files to test strategy. Is there any way to read in the name of the tic file being played back ? This would allow the script to change variables given the name of the tic file. Example would be tic files named for the currency of the tics contained in the file.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hello Chris,

EFS does not currently have the ability to detect the tick replay file name. This functionality would need to be added. Please feel free to submit a request to our development team at [email protected].

In the mean time, you could try using a formula parameter using the Function Parameter object. You would need to type in a keyword or file name that you could then use in your formula conditions to change the variables.

If you are keen, then it might be worth using the DLL interface, you could perhaps get a list of all the open files in the system (assuming eSig keeps the file open), and find the ".tics". Not sure what the snags might be, but you need the appropriate programming languages, SDK knowledge and tools of course.
