Hello, hoping someone can help out with this string conversion problem.
In live trading, I am pulling quotation time using TimeNum(), and want to test for the start of a new bar. So my thinking is to simply convert the time to a number, extract the last two characters, convert back to a number and see if it equals 0. If so, that means the last two digits in the quotation time are "00" and hence we are at the start of a new bar.
However, the sample code below is always thinking we have a new bar whether the time is, for e.g. :
10:37:31 or
10:37:00
Obviously, only the second time should trip the 'new bar' print. But instead, both do:
barTime = 103731; // we would normally use TimeNum() here, but using a number for example
barTimeStr = NumToStr(barTime);
NewBarSeconds = StrToNum ( StrRight(barTimeStr, 2) );
printf("NewBarSeconds = " + NewBarSeconds);
if (NewBarSeconds == 0)
printf(" We have a new bar");
