CTL Random Entry Systems

[Jim]

We ported our first example robot from MQL4 to GFT's CTL language quite some time ago now.

We've just received a report on the blog that it doesn't compile properly in Chart Studio any more. Whilst we check that out, here's the original version if you would like to experiment for yourself:

I suspect the problem is that my own version of Chart Studio has had the following module installed since before the beginning of time. Stick it in TimeStampToStr.ctl and install it and the "robot" should burst into life:

function timestamptostr;
input datetime(number);
result res(string);
begin
  res := numbertostring(hour(datetime)) + ":" + numbertostring(minute(datetime)) + ":" + numbertostring(second(datetime)) + " " + numbertostring(day(datetime)) + "-" + numbertostring(month(datetime)) + "-" + numbertostring(year(datetime));
end.

Hi, that was my problem!
Now, with adding the timestamptostr function, it doesn't return any errors! Great. Thanks a lot. I will try it as soon as possible.
