1. If you printed out your TimeToStr you would know why.

2. Perhaps you should read the manual. If you had you would know what TimeToStr returns and would know why.

3. TimeToStr is deprecated. Start using TimeToString.

4. Your code fails if there is no tick during that minute. There can be minutes between ticks during the Asian session.
