what is and how do i load local history?? (iClose)

[[Deleted]]

double  iClose(

string  symbol,  int  timeframe,  int  shift)

Returns Close value for the bar of indicated symbol with timeframe and shift. If local history is empty (not loaded), function returns 0.

i used iclose for an indicator on the 4 hr chart. i used 1hr for the int  timeframe, and the script is messing up really badly.  and the only thing i can think of is the local history. how do i call or specify  the local history for the 1hr chart ? anyone know?

thanks

I am having the same problems with iHigh. The function always returns 0.

has anyone found an explanation or solution for this?

Thanks

I ran into the same problem this past weekend. Here's what I did to resolve it:

1 - In your History Center, make sure that you're actually collecting data for the currencies and periods that you reference in your functions

2 - Be mindful of the currency symbols you use. I kept on getting the "0" return until I noticed that, since I was on a mini-account, my symbol was not "USDJPY" but actually "USPJPYm". A small difference, but it was preventing me from getting accurate quotes. This will vary from broker to broker, so make sure that you're using the correct symbol.
