this indicator updates every 5 seconds. should be easy to modify it so that it updates every 6minutes and 15 sec....

is this using strategy tester? it can simulate N ticks per bar period, evenly spaced out, but not 6 mins 15 seconds :-(

[zzuegg]

shure everythink is simulatable::

static int t=0;
static int TimeInSeconds= (6*60)+15;
if(TimeCurrent()>(t+TimeInSeconds)){
 //6 minutes and 15secodns have passed...
}

I tried that and can't get it to compile, had to make some changes and the problem seems to be with TimeCurrent(). Basically, I want the inits to be global so that I can put an iteration in the if statement:

if(TimeCurrent()>(t+TimeInSeconds)){

....

//increment t by TimeInSeconds

}

so that I can repeat this like a loop. Also, I need t to initialize =TimeCurrent(), but I can't get it to do so.

Please he lp!

Try this--

extern int TimeInSeconds = 15;

int start()
{
   static int lastTime = 0;
   if(TimeCurrent() > lastTime+TimeInSeconds)
   {
       Comment("lastTime  ", lastTime);
       lastTime = TimeCurrent();
   }        
   return(0);
}
