CurrentSecond

Category: Date and time

The CurrentSecond function in ProBuilder language is used to retrieve the current second of the minute from the system clock at the time the script is executed. This function is particularly useful in time-sensitive trading strategies where actions need to be synchronized to specific seconds within a minute.

Syntax:

CurrentSecond

Example:

mySecond = CurrentSecond
IF mySecond = 30 THEN
    // Execute specific trading logic exactly at 30 seconds past the minute
ENDIF

In this example, the variable mySecond stores the current second retrieved by CurrentSecond. The IF statement then checks if mySecond equals 30, allowing the script to execute specific commands when the condition is met.

Additional Information:

  • The CurrentSecond function returns an integer between 0 and 59, representing the seconds passed in the current minute.
  • This function can be used to add precise timing features to your trading algorithms, ensuring that certain actions are only taken at specific seconds within a minute.

Understanding the use of CurrentSecond can enhance the accuracy of time-based trading strategies, making it a valuable tool in the ProBuilder programming environment.
