Hello Support:-

can you show me the modifications required to:-

1) have the date and time stamp showing GMT rather than local PC time
2) add in volume data

Many thanks

Bob M

1)

private SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss");  // or whatever format you prefer
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

sdf.format(new Date()) will now generate the date string in GMT timezone.

2)
ticks don't have volume, only bars. So you have to extend the onBar() function, and call the corresponding bidBar.getVolume() or askBar.getVolume().


I suggest to post Automated Trading related posts in the proper section (Automated Trading->Knowledgebase). This topic has nothing to do with Strategy Contest (or not directly). There you have better chances of getting replies in such manners...

It seems I was wrong about tick volume information. As there are indeed volume data for ticks.

Take a look on tick.getAskVolume() and tick.getBidVolume() functions in the onTick() function. Just modify the given wiki example for tick to .csv, and add these 2 extra functions.

Hi tcsabina

All is well now!

I have the .csv file with the output I am seeking

Thanks for your patience
