iHigh() Problem
If you are doing this for the first tick of Bar 0 then the first tick is OHLC all at the same time and therefore the values will be equal. I hope I've understood you problem
V
When applying High[0], Low[0], Close[0], Open[0] it always returns the same values (although the values are in fact different).
always? eg, if look at a 'first tick' new bar oftentimes it has values <> to each other, yes? Otherwise how can terminal plot bar graphic? ie, the graphic is not just an horizontal bar on the chart is it?
Open[0] will always be same value, that is a constant value established on first tick, just like Time[0] is.
L,C,H are dynamic and can change on each new incoming server data tick.
Perhaps you could show code, which demonstrates your observation. ie, Print()'s
btw, not attempting to patronize you but please remember that truncation (to 4 decimals) happens using Print().
eg, if d = 1.12345 then Print(d); displays "1.1234" but Print(DoubleToStr(d,Digits)); displays "1.12345"
It can easily happen (I bear witness to it all the time ;) that what one printed out is far from what's in memory...

Thanks for your time.
The thing I do not understand is when I do:
today's open price. I would expect it to return today's open, today's high, today's low and today's close .
If I do Open[1], High[1], Low[1], Close[1] it works fine, i.e. it returns yesterday's open, yesterday's high, yesterday's low and yesterday's close .
The only way that happens AFAIK is if it's the first tick of the bar... would need to see some code to advise further.
V
Print("iLow: ", iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0));
Print("iHigh: ", iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0));
Print("iClose: ", iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0));
returns four times today's open. Why?
Print("iOpen: ", iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1));
Print("iLow: ", iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1));
Print("iHigh: ", iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1));
Print("iClose: ", iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1));
works fine i.e. it returns yesterday's open, yesterday's high, yesterday's low and yesterday's close .
So are you saying if you run that code as a script with no other code, in the middle of the day it produces 4 equal values?
int start() { //---- Print("iOpen: ", iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iLow: ", iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iHigh: ", iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iClose: ", iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); //---- return(0); }

so where's the problem? - confused am I...
2010.07.30 18:32:12 34001 EURUSD,M15: removedas one would expect... all are different.
using:
int start() { Print("iOpen: ", iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iLow: ", iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iHigh: ", iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iClose: ", iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); //returns four times today's open. Why? Print("iOpen: ", iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1)); Print("iLow: ", iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1)); Print("iHigh: ", iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1)); Print("iClose: ", iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1)); return; }
I only have daily data (OHLC). And as I said the following code return four times today's open.
Print("iOpen: ", iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iLow: ", iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iHigh: ", iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0)); Print("iClose: ", iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0));

I have a problem with strategy tester.
When applying High[0], Low[0], Close[0], Open[0] it always returns the same values (although the values are in fact different).
If I do High[1], Low[1], Close[1], Open[1] it works as expected.
Any idea why this is?
