Hello Support,

Im trying to use the GetTimeUnit block to stop a system placing a trade if the last trade was within 30 min.

The problem I am finding - is that the get time unit block is not being populated by the time when it is triggered - I have tried multiple settings: double / int / date and time
but it does seem to output the value. The picture below shows 1 minute bars and multiple entries. On the right hand side is the 3 time blocks I am using - the first is ticktime which is correct (last tick.tick time) , the next is tradetime - its start value is 10 (needs a start value for when the system starts) but after the first trade it should update to the corresponding time bar number. And finally there is newtime which is a calculation to work out the time 30min forwards.

File is attached - I believe it is a bug, but can you have a look for me =)

Thanks

As we can see from your example, the GetTimeUnit block is working good, but in some cases the values in debug view for Visual JForex Interface has incorrect values, it means that you see the wrong values in Interface, but inside system it has the correct value. This issue is already known, to fix it is quite difficult, but anyway we will do improvements to solve it, as much as possible.

P.S. in Calculatuion expression you are calculate the DateTime variables, but as result you are defined as double, in this case better to use not double but DateTime variable type as well. Later we will do human view for date time.
