cTrader Market Trading Clock

This can be very helpful in doing business and preparing projects. I also use stock content, especially stock images. I needed bathroom images and found the options I needed. Thanks to this, I was able to prepare everything in the best way.

sorry, I found your most current version and installed that - thank you; it's very much appreciated!

When I install I get a warning saying it wants to take over all Access Rights, and am then given the option to Allow or Disallow - what is this?

New feature added, will now send you an email a configurable number of minutes before the exchange opens.

All,

With CT new text re-sizing feature, the clock will be effected and messed up. If you want to use it you will need to keep the text size standard.

Hi Conno,

I just checked and it works fine with me.

Download the indicator again in-case you have an older version, if you still have problems, send me an email with a screen shot of your problem and who your broker is.

contact@calgo4u.com

Also if you like the clock please vote for it, does it really only deserve 2.5 :-(

Hi Conno,

Thanks for letting me know, I will try and fix it this week.

if you want to give me your email I will ping you when its done. else check back next week.

Paul.

Thank you and good weekend

ok, will fix

Good evening, I noticed that the clocks have moments that are overlapping one another emcima didigto

thank you, once again you exceeded expectations, good for you and Business Success

NEW FEATURE ADDED

• option to show clocks opening times in your current timezone.

very good success for you

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Will do it on the next release, thank you for your feedback.

good day, you could put option 24H ? PM AM 

digital clocks display the hour of the day in 24-hour format

Thank you, I look forward to the current time option. 

Hi Neal,

your right there is a bug when the exchange opens, the countdown remains, will fix.

correction:, "when the value you specify is equal to or more then the amount of minutes"

I checked the clock countdown is working fine.

Hi Neal,

Thanks for your feedback on this indicator, the clocks will currently only show  local time for each of the exchanges location, I will release another version with a parameter option for the user to choose he clocks to be shown in their own local time or the time of the exchange, come back in a week and I will try and get it done by then.

The only countdown that occurs is when you set the "Alert market opens (mins)" parameter, when the value you specify is equal to or less then the amount of minutes until the market closes the timer will be displayed below current time or opening time, I will check to make sure it works ok.

Hi Paul, I reinstalled the clock. I'm PST so I wanted the opening/closing times to reflect California time (PST). I can work with New York however.

One thing I noticed is the clock isn't counting down unless i reopen the chart again. Am I missing a setting. 

I really like this cbot and want to be able to use it correctly.

Hi,

What is it you are trying to do? 

The clocks are already setup to display the local time for the country, this is the actual current time now in New York, London etc, you should not need to change anything, unless you wish to add another clock, would you like to add another clock?

Paul.

Sorry, to make this Eastern Standard Time, why is this not correct? Thank you.

I figured out how to install in Ctrader, thank you. Now to change the time zone do you have to open it in CAlgo or can the time zone be adjusted in Ctrader.

Is there a way to download and install in ctrader live account?

Update 10/04/2015:

• Bug fixed if opening time includes minutes, showing of minutes left to open were incorrect.
• Bug fixed showing Monday as next opening time on a Friday

thank you, the indicator is very good and very useful.
here in Brazil we do business in the morning schedule for the Brasilia time starts at 3:00 and finish around 13:00 there is not a specific schedule what I use most is to pay attention to candlelstick sign on graph of 1 hour and 4 hours always looking the direction of graphic diary

Update 28/03/2015:

• Bug fixing and major code clean-up, easier to add additional exchanges.

Update 24/03/2015: New features added for version 1.1

• Default opening and closing times as per cTraders trading hours.
• Code refactoring(clean-up) for future scalability.
• Show closing times.
• Countdown timer for specified time before market opens
• Re-align exchanges (spaces) between them.

Hi,

The procedure to install any algorithm is to download it from cTDN and run it, it will install on your device for use, what spotware have done is to restrict what programmers can do to your computer when they develop cbots or indicators. So they are pretty safe to use, else any programmer can hack into your system and spotware will have to discontinue traders writing their own cbots etc.

In the code you will see this:

    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]

AccessRights set to none, means the program has no rights to do anything to your computer, if this was set to Full Rights then a warning would tell you when you attempt to install that the program.

Any algorithm that you download and install from cDTN should have AccessRights.None

So don't worry the code is perfectly safe on your machine thanks to cAlgo framework restricting any possible damage.

The copy and paste code is for developers who wish to modify the existing code, the strange characters at the start of the code appears and I don't know why.

have fun with the indicator and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further problems at paul(dot)hayes.it@gmail.com , just replace the (dot) with a full stop.

Hi Paul,

First to answer your questions:

1. Windows 8.1

2. I did not try to load the indicator, i copied the source code (using the button on this page) then created a new indicator in cAlgo. The error was received when tried to build the code. I suggest you repaste the code (for instance, on the first line there are some random ascii caracters, though i don't think they cause the error)

3. Did not modify the code

4. What do you mean?

Today, I just downloaded the prebuilt indicator (after checking your profile, I concluded you are trustworthy :) ) and installed. Then looked on the source code :) as was building fine this time :). 

It looks elegant, I put it on one of my charts, will further test and let you know if I come with more ideas.

Thank you!

Hi 8fold,

That's an interesting error, there is no variable or file by that name in the source code, could you give more information.

1. what operating system are you using

2. are you getting error when loading the indicator?

3. have you changed any values in the source code?

4. what are your user properties.

Thanks.

I get when building:

Error: Error occured during parsing project file: "HoursIns' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '=' Line2, position 60.'

Paul, this is really nice! Will use it and let you know on possible improvement ideas / bugs / feedback.

Good luck trading!

Thank you!

Update 13/03/2015: Bug fix, indicator was showing markets Closed when the first exchange closed on a Friday and not all of them, the current download corrects the problem.

I have now configured the indicator to use trading session times which are taken from the official web sites, these show when trading actually takes place and does not include pre-opening where no orders are taken.

I have some discrepancy between the trading hours I am finding on each of the exchanges websites and what CTrader uses, I would not mind some help on what times would be best for Forex trading.

Thanks.
