Server Time

[Trader3487]

I added a comment block with Market Properties > Time (Current) > Server Time in order to display the current server time at each tick but it is printing values like this: 1236049513 instead of the actual time.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is the UTC (integer) format of the time. I don't know for the new MT4, the old one is doing this - outputs the time in it's integer form, but MT5 converts it in human readable format, so because now MQL4 is similar to MQL5 I think it's possible to do the same.
Otherwise to convert this time format to human readable format this function is used: http://docs.mql4.com/convert/timetostr ... but directly into Comment block try this: http://prntscr.com/2r7i95

ok, it's sticking now but unless I forgot something the dynamic values are not working like they did before (I had gotten them working correctly) as discussed in this forum post: topic/2114

I tried using different variations of +TimeToStr(TimeCurrent()) to no avail: http://fxdreema.com/shared/ce0AX4jbc

I think that "+function+" is not working long time ago, what worked is ""+function+"" with double ", but these are tricks and I don't pay big attention to them And at the end it's all my fault because tricks are used when there is no normal way to do it

thanks - working again now! When do you plan to update the desktop version?
