iHigh() & iLow() + MessageBox() can do job 4 u
Thanks,
I got this to work, sort of...
if(DayOfWeek()==0 && Volume[0]==1) // First tick of new week { //CurrentWeekOpen=Open; // get close of week LastWeekOpen=iOpen(NULL,PERIOD_W1,1); LastWeekHigh=iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_W1,1); LastWeekLow=iLow(NULL,PERIOD_W1,1); LastWeekClose=iClose(NULL,PERIOD_W1,1); }
It seems though that the the data conflicts with what the real data is. I am using ibfx demo account if that matters, but for example,
the EUR/USD shows 10/17 open is 1.3951, when in reality it was 1.3971 (it seems that the ibfx data has a 2 hour sunday time frame that doesn't show as Sunday?)
Something is wrong, but I can't figure out if it is bad data or bad programming logic.
Thanks
Volume[0]==1
could be a problem because if there is a gap or 2 ticks together
Volume is in reliable. Use Time[]
static datetime Time0; bool newBar = Time0 < Time[0]; if (Bid > CA.below && Bid < CA.above && (!newBar)) return(0); // Don't call me again until the next special case. #define INF 999999 // Don't call me again until the next special case. Time0 = Time[0]; CA.below = 0; CA.above = INF;

I am wondering how to get the high of the previous week for NY trading hours (i.e. close Fri 1PM).
I am also a little confused if it is possible to write a program that, for example, looks at last weeks high/low and compares to todays open (not current tick). This is just one part of the algo, but I can figure out the rest from this example.
I would like to just have a window pop up and say (for example EUR/USD buy at x.xxxx, stop at x.xxxx), you get the idea. I don't necessarily need it hooked to a chart, but just something that can run. I guess that would make it a customer indicator, but it seems indicators need to be attached to a specific pair.
Thanks
