Re: Fwd: Time of the day

[Vista-Research <SKTennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Good post, Hans.  My one suggestion is to avoid hard coding the times.  I
use the built in functions to accomplish the same thing:

Instead of "if time > 1000 and time < 1600 then begin"

I recommend :

  if  (Time  > AddTime (Sess1StartTime, +30) and
      (Time <  AddTime   (Sess1EndTime, -15) 
  then begin
  {  }
  end ;

My clients would, of course, use :

  if  (Time  > vrt.AddTime (Sess1StartTime, +30) and
      (Time <  vrt.AddTime   (Sess1EndTime, -15) 
  then begin
  {  }
  end ;

get exactly what i want in the print log - the time of the first bar of the
day. Since I do not want my system to take the signals on the first bar i
add the following line ("If time > Zeit+BarInterval then begin").
