Thanks guys. I was actually comparing the IB market-data clock (right bottom
corner of the TWS application) to the following code:
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SECONDS LEFT IN A BAR~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function secondsLeftOnBar_func()
{
Time = Now( 4 );
Seconds = int( Time % 100 );
Minutes = int( Time / 100 % 100 );
Hours = int( Time / 10000 % 100 );
SecondNum = int( Hours * 60 * 60 + Minutes * 60 + Seconds );
TimeFrame = Interval();
Newperiod = SecondNum % TimeFrame == 0;
SecsLeft = SecondNum - int( SecondNum / TimeFrame ) * TimeFrame;
SecsToGo = TimeFrame - SecsLeft;
return SecsToGo;
}
WriteVal(secondsLeftOnBar_func(),2.2)
My "Chart Timing" was showing <100mSec but the difference between the above
routind and IB was in the range of 6-7 seconds.
