How to get the value of the last ticks?

New comment
 

Hello,


What I'm trying to do, is calculating the average price change in lets say the 10 last ticks.

Does anyone know how this could be realized?


Thanks in advance,

Eggat

I would make the EA write to a text file, and have it read and compute in a sub. search the forum on how to write/read to text files. Goodluck!

Heyarn that is WAY over complicated! Writing to a file is not necessary. Even a global variable isn't necessary.


Every time a tick is received the start() function is invoked.

So:

create an int variable outside all functions called iCount and set it to zero.

create a double variable outside all functions called dPriceChange.

in the init() function set dPriceChange to the current price

within the start() function do the following:

- if iCount has reached 10, then zero it and divide dPriceChange by 10 giving your result

- if iCount is less than 10, then add 1 to it and subtract the current price from dPriceChange
