For daily bars, BarHour and BarMinute always will say the same thing - the opening time of the daily bar. That's how they are designed to work. Every day will be the same. That also clarifies the nature of your other concerns. If you are using daily bars, and you want to delay your entry to some point after the daily bar begins (on the exchange), then you need to "fake out" OT somehow. I've not tried either of these suggestions but they might work. I'm not an OPilot specialist so I won't attempt a suggestion in that realm. 1. You can simply delay the time that OT activates in the morning. There is a schedule function in the menus (can't remember where right now - using iPhone) that auto starts OT for you each new day. Maybe (?) that can be used to delay OPilot's start … if N is unable to help you with the OPilot script. 2. You might consider "surgery" on the Exchange settings table itself - change the start time from 9:30est to a later time. I'm guessing that OPilot keys off of that table like an alarm clock. On a side note … I'm sorry about the guesswork. It certainly should be possible, I would think (argh guessing again!) for an OPilot script to precisely control this. But since N has no "programmer" staff assigned for OPilot support, you're probably on your own there. I have hoped, some day, to have time to dig in to OPilot - but have not had time - and various things happening with OVest make me think that after a few more months, I won't need to (fingers crossed) … or, that it will be much simpler and/or better supported by N staff. We'll see. | |
