Try the code below. It works for me most of the time ... Sometimes it gives a - (negative) value for a short period of time ... hope you can improve on it.

//  ****************************************************************************

 

// Compute Time Left In Bar
//

 

BarTime1   = LastValue(TimeNum()-Now(4));
DataError  = iif(Now(4) > TimeNum(),True,False);
TimeBase   = iif(Interval(1)>0,1,0);

 

_N(StrBarTime = NumToStr(BarTime1,1.0,False));
BT_Length     = StrLen(StrBarTime);
_N(BarTime2      = writeif(BT_Length>4,StrRight(StrBarTime,4),StrBarTime));

 

/*
_N(BarTime    = Writeif(BT_Length==1,"0:0"+StrBarTime,Writeif(BT_Length==2,"0:"+StrBarTime,
                Writeif(BT_Length==3,StrLeft(StrBarTime,1)+":"+StrRight(StrBarTime,2),
                   StrLeft(StrBarTime,2)+":"+StrRight(StrBarTime,2)))));
*/
_N(BarTime2    = Writeif(BT_Length==1,"0:0"+BarTime2,Writeif(BT_Length==2,"0:"+BarTime2,
                Writeif(BT_Length==3,StrLeft(BarTime2,1)+":"+StrRight(BarTime2,2),
                   StrLeft(BarTime2,2)+":"+StrRight(BarTime2,2)))));

 

 

 

_N(TimeLeft   = Writeif(TimeBase==0,"N/A",BarTime2));
_N("timenum "  +  Writeval(Timenum(),1.0));
_N("Now        "  +  Writeval(Now(4),1.0));
//"time left    " + Writeval(BarTime1,1.0);
_N("time left2    " + BarTime2);
//  ****************************************************************************

Subject: [amibroker] Countdown timer

 

Hello All,

 

I am trying to get a countdown timer for intraday trading. In other words, a timer that will count down the interval time to 0 whenever an interval bar changes. So that if my interval is 3 minutes, as soon as a bar changes it will count down the 180 seconds, to show me how long I have left until a bar prints again.

 

Anyone have some code to share to do this?

 

Thank you

Tom
