Easy Language Indicator Help

[eggzactly 10]

Hi,

 

i´m trying to create an indicator that exports realtime data to a csv file, i stuck in two points now, first the code :

 

variables : ask(0),bid(0),result(0);

 

ask = insideask;

bid = insidebid;

result = (bid + (ask - bid) / 2);

 

print( file( " ****1 " ), DateFormat( "DDMMYY", "-"), " ", ***2 , ";", result );

plot1(result,"");

 

 

****1 - is possible to put here the symbol and current date each time i plot this in a chart ?

****2 - i try to figure out a way to put here HHMMSS but i couldn´t do it

 

In the result it´s strange because only the first 2 decimal appears, for instance in fx instead of appear 1.4875 only appears 1.48

 

please can somebody help me in this task, really apprecciated.

 

regards

Hi eggzactly,

 

Look into TS functions like FormatDate, FormatTime for formatting date and time.

There may be other user developed functions for Date and Time on TS Forums.

 

You can also use Symbol or GetSymbolName to get symbol names.

 

To print decimals correctly use print(" myValue = ", myValue:1:4) format, 4 is number of decimals.

at the multicharts menu bar,

select Help> MultiCharts Help

 

the MultiCharts User Guide will pop out

 

select the Contents tab

 

expand the PowerLanguage section

 

expand the Keyword Reference

 

you will see a section devoted to Date and Time Routines

 

 

Hope the above helps

Here is the code to print current Bar's Date and Time in "hh:mm:ss tt" format

 

==============

Var: strVar(""), pDateTime(0);

 

if (lastBarOnchart) then

begin

pDateTime = DateToJulian( Date ) + ( TimeToMinutes( Time ) / 60 / 24 ) ;

strVar =(FormatTime("hh:mm:ss tt",pDateTime));

print(strvar);

end;

==============
