High[], Low[] or Close[] for another timeframe?!
Instead of using High[i], Close[i] etc, you need to use iHigh(...), iClose(...). These functions can return values for any TF.

Lot's of thanks!!! That was a great help!
Hello,
I have an Indicator, which use the Functions High, Low and Close.
Now I want to change it. I want to add the parameter "Timeframe", so that I can put the indicator on the H1 chart and see the indicator for the M30 oder D1 Timeframe.
Is this possible? How can I do it?!

Hello,
you can use iHigh, iClose but you should also have in mind that there are some intricacies. For example, when you are e.g. in a 1 hour TF, calling a 30 min iHigh(), history for that TF may not be available immediately (you may see https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/157343 ). What you can possibly do is to first call all TFs in OnInit() (using, for example, iHigh() ) and Sleep() for some seconds, as to allow for history to get downloaded. Then, you may check the return values of some functions to be sure about
best regards
No, I think a poster went on a resurrection rampage, posting solutions to very old threads. I think the intentions were good but it did bring a lot of old threads back up to the top.
Either a mod or the poster have deleted their content, but I guess a few got replied to before then.
