Thought I might help some one, hey you never know !!!
Are you fed up of reading miltary time when looking at text on charts or
text in the message log,
that have been created from your EL programs.
To convert miltary time to exchange time shown by the chart scale.(If your
charts are setup as local time, you
may have to fiddle with the calculations to suit).
Open a new function in Power editor,
Name it as : ChartTime {name of your function is important for code line
marked "XX" }
Select output as : "text"
Input this code :
********************************************************
Inputs: NormTime(NumericSimple);
Vars : AdjTime("0");
If NormTime < 1000 then
AdjTime = Leftstr(numtostr(NormTime,0),1)+":"+
rightstr(numtostr(NormTime,0),2);
If NormTime > 959 and NormTime < 1300 then
AdjTime = Leftstr(numtostr(NormTime,0),2)+":"+ rightstr(numtostr(NormTime
,0),2);
If NormTime > 1259 then
AdjTime = Leftstr(numtostr(NormTime - 1200,0),1)+":"+
rightstr(numtostr(NormTime - 1200,0),2);
ChartTime = AdjTime; {XX}
****************************************************************
Thus reading time as 1421 will be 2:21, or 0845 will be 8:45
In Your indicator code when creating the text time to output.
Instead of :
Numtostr(time,0) {when time is 1421}
Result : 1421 {in text format}
Do : Charttime(time)
Result : 2.21 {in text format}
Thats it , hope it helps someone.
