EL Question about Real Time



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Have a question about EasyLanguage:

Is there a property or function that I can access in EL that will tell me
that the strategy is looking at the latest quote rather than a quote in
history?

I thought of doing it this way but it sure seems awkward:

Vars: SavTime(0), ItIsRealTimeNow(0);

{GET CAUGHT UP TO THE REAL TIME MINUTE}
If (Date = CurrentDate) and (Time = CurrentTime) Then begin
      SavTime = Time;
end;

{NOW SET TO GO AT NEXT MINUTE}
If (Time > SavTime) and (SavTime > 0) Then Begin
      ItIsRealTimeNow = 1;
end;

{OK NOW THE PART OF MY STRAT THAT NEEDS TO KNOW DOES THIS}
If (ItIsRealTimeNow > 0) Then Begin

	{DO MY THING WITH MY DLL FUNCTION}

end;

Thanks,

Mike.
