Trade Timer

[zepplin]

I'm trying to write some code for a trade timer. Basically I want the timer to let me know how long I have been in the current trade. Spent hours tying myself in knots to get this code going.

I decided to use the Bar Timer as a code templet. Should I be considering something elese?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in adavance.

As a last resort you can try contacting one of the NinjaScript Consultants: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

Try this:

//Variables
DateTime date1;

//When you enter trade
date1 = DateTime.Now;

//OnBarUpdate
DateTime date2 = DateTime.Now;
System.TimeSpan diff = date2.Subtract(date1);
Print("TimeDiff " + diff.Minutes);

Thanks - that is a lot simpler then the nonesense I have been trying to put together.

Appreciate it - will try it a little later today after the close.
