Re: [amibroker] Re: second() always return "0" on 1-minute bar....

[Chris Lee <chris76721@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks BR.

But this function is not solve the problem. As I mentioned on the original message:

"I know you can use Now() to return current system time and then get value of the second. But Now() is using your local system timestamp, not IQFeed timestamp."

The issue is Now() is using local system time, but Second() (plus Hour(), Minute()) all using IQfeed time, which is not easy to sync with local system clock since it depends on lots of variables. It mentioned here: http://www.amibroker.com/iqfeed.html. "last update time now uses IQFeed timestamp instead of local clock and this prevents chart refresh stall occuring sometimes when clock on local machine and on IQFeed end are not synced"

Thanks!
