Open time of Weekly bar

[OldZ]

it is easy to get weekly open time with any daily open time in MT4

eg:

datetime t1= iTime(NUll,Periond_D1,i);  //  i is the bar index of Daily chart

int index=iBarshift(NUll.PERIOD_W1,t1); // here ,we can use t1 as "open time" of the weekly  bar

datetime t2= iTime(Null,Periond_W1,index);  // here t2 is realy open time of weekly bar.

it means that we can any day within a week  to calculate the weekly  open time,  

But now how to  do calculation like this in MT5 ?

try this

   datetime BarOpenTime[1];
   datetime DayInWeek=D'2010.05.15';
   if(CopyTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_W1,DayInWeek,1,BarOpenTime)==1)
     {
      Print("Beginning of week containing date",TimeToString(DayInWeek),"is",TimeToString(BarOpenTime[0]));
     }
   else
     {
      Print("Problem obtaining time data");
     }
