EL word 'time'

[marekj]

If my EL strategy is using statement

if time < 1600 then
...;

compilation is fine. If I set the breakpoint and run strategy in PTL Builder, I'm getting an error: "Input string was not in correct format".

Removing word 'time' from strategy makes everything running ok (but with missed functionality I need by using word 'time').

Please let me know your thoughts.

if time < 1300 then
Print(time);,
I got result:
308
309
310
311
312
313
314
315

We've tested, everything works fine with Zen Fire on ticks for ESH0:CME

Are you using only Zen Fire connection?

Could you decribe us details? It would be great if you contact us through the Skype (support.pfsoft), online support is Available from 8:00 AM till 4:00 PM GMT.

My strategy:

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = false]

Variable: todayLow(0);
Variable: todayHigh(0);


if todayHigh = 0 or Close > todayHigh then
begin
todayHigh = Close;
end;

if todayLow = 0 or Close < todayLow then
begin
todayLow = Close;
end;
{
if todayLow > 0 then
Buy next bar todayLow - 30.00 limit;


if todayHigh > 0 then
SellShort next bar todayHigh + 30.00 limit;
}

Print(time);

I'm using only Zen-Fire connection, 1 tick resolution, ESH0:CME, PTL Bulider v2.0.50727. I do run strategy from PTL Builder ('Run' button in toolbar). After I compile and click o 'Run' button, I'm getting (last line) following output:

------ Compiling started: Module: Quant_Test, Time: 6:05:44 PM ------
Compiling Quant_Test...
====== Compiling completed Module: Quant_Test, Time: 6:05:44 PM ======
Input string was not in a correct format.;

If I comment out Print(time); from my strategy, everything works fine.

Can someone answer if issue was duplicated, or only strel will create revenue for PFSoft by buying licenses (everything works for him - developer and nothing works for me - customer)?

We have discovered the problem it is caused by regional settings format in Windows.

Fix will be included in the next release.

Thanks!
