      Mariner Backtesting - Basic Timer in service object

       service.add_time_trigger()

      Overview:

      In this lesson, you will learn to set up a basic timer. A basic timer will allow you to tell your script to be called at a time you specify.

      Basic use case:

      If you need your script to be called at a specific time, use the add_time_trigger(). The add_time_trigger() function schedules the system to call the on_timer() method. add_time_trigger() is part of the service object.

      Interface: 
       add_time_trigger( timestamp, repeat_interval, timer_id)
      Working Example:

      Call on_timer() at 9:30

       service.add_time_trigger( service.time(9,30))
