MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi,

I want to monitor my pc script calculation time to make sure my pc is running strategy on optimal level all the time.

So I need a code which can provide millisecond difference to see how much time script used for calculation.

(Time) minus (time) = millisecond

Awaiting

What is your CPU speed?

What is your CPU speed?

3.30ghz
8 core
8gb ram
120gb ssd
windows server 2012 r2

I had run time issues with batch file. I want to make sure Multicharts is not facing this script issues. I am doubtful because few days back Order & Position Tracker show 8 seconds delay in issuing trade order. Normally I get 0 seconds delay in issuing order. But to be on safe side and monitoring purposes I need this code.

Thanks

Hello faraz,

You can find two sample codes in the following thread.

Hello faraz,

You can find two sample codes in the following thread.

For the moment, I think I go with these 2 lines, to keep code low bit as well and will manually calculate difference.
Thanks

Code: Select all

Print("Start"," ",DateTimeToString_Ms(DateTime));

// Put all my code here

Print("End"," ",DateTimeToString_Ms(DateTime));

Thanks

This function is providing bar Closed millisecond. if bar is 10:30 then it gave 10:30:00.000 all the time even.

This is bit better but its not in milliseconds
Do we have any better deeper computer clock function which can provide Milliseconds?

Thanks

should do what you want.

Please check the code I have provided in this post.

MillisecondsFromDateTime(DateTime) should do what you want.

What is exactly incorrect in the description?

Done. Easy fix Thank you for reporting.

Ok, I will check the millisecond link and code again.



But I found the issue. My strategy is using IOG and in IOG mode strategy don't recalculate at bar close. It only re-calculate if a TICK comes. If no tick at bar close then no re-calculation. Need to add RecalcLastBarAfter(1); to my code.


Thanks

Code: Select all

MillisecondsFromDateTime(DateTime)

should do what you want.

I think We need to REPLACE "DateTime" in the code.

I use it in several filters and very much am thankful we have it now But this isn't with time based bars...

I've never used this with IOG on. Couldn't you IntrabarPersist it? Of course its not being calculated EVERY MS, but at every tick which is what executes every other function ie: orders, alerts, indicators...

Solved by Andrew.......

Thank you Andrew

I have added a final testing strategy on this below link which can provide Millisecond time stamp for;
a) Strategy calculation start time
b) Strategy calculation End time
c) Milli Second difference
