[amibroker] Re: anyone have code for a countdown timer

I have this little piece of code that I use on my charts:

////////////////////////////////// timer
thisbar = TimeNum();
nextbar = thisbar+(Interval()/60*100);
systime = Now(4)+30000; //pt time zone
systime = IIf(systime>=240000,systime-240000,systime);
anewbar = nextbar-systime-40;
nnewbar = LastValue(anewbar);
if (nnewbar > 20) timercode = anewbar;
else timercode = EncodeColor(colorBrightGreen)+anewbar;
////////////////////////////////// timer

title = title + "   " + timercode;
this adds the countdown timer to Title, watch it turns green when 20 
seconds or less are left in current bar (woodies CCI people like 
this). If you are auto trading, use (nnewbar <= 5) to trigger the 
trade when 5 seconds or less are left.

You can get fancier with timer display, you can also write something 
to add the data feed lagging time, etc. but simplicity and speed are 
more important to me.

Don't forget to synchronize your clock if your os doesn't do it for 
you.

Good luck.
