MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting • View topic - Date & time calculation and result in a string

arjfca · #1 posted 06 Mar 2012

Hello

I'm lost in the date & time calculation. Any help appreciated

I want to add a time value to a time variable

Ctime = 235900 // 23:59:00
Cscale = 175 // 175 seconds 1 minute: 55sec

Ctime = Ctime + Cscale C time should equal 0000155 + 1 day

- How do we calculate date and time to get a value representing both
- How can I format the ending date and time string like (YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS)

Any help appreciated
