Hello

I have this code that I downloaded and use:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                               Daily High Low.mq4 |
//|                                           Copywrong 2005, RonT   |
//|                                 http://www.lightpatch.com/forex/ |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#property copyright "RonT"
#property link      "http://www.lightpatch.com/forex/"

#property indicator_chart_window
#property indicator_buffers 2

double LOBuffer[];
double HIBuffer[];



//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custor indicator deinitialization function                       |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int deinit()
  {
   return(0);
  }


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int init()
  {
   SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE,0,1,DarkTurquoise);
   SetIndexBuffer(0,LOBuffer);

   SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_LINE,0,1,Crimson);
   SetIndexBuffer(1,HIBuffer);

   return(0);
  }



//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()

  {
   int    counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   int    limit, i;

   double dayhigh=0;
   double daylow=999;
   
   if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
   limit=(Bars-counted_bars)-1;

   for (i=limit; i>=0;i--)
     { 
      if (dayhigh<High[i]) {dayhigh=High[i];}
      if (daylow>Low[i])   {daylow=Low[i];  }

      if (TimeDay(Time[i])!=TimeDay(Time[i+1]))
        { 
         // reset limits when day changes
         dayhigh=High[i];
         daylow=Low[i];
        }
   
      LOBuffer[i]=daylow;
      HIBuffer[i]=dayhigh;

     }
   return(0);
  }

I would like for this code to act on the close of the highest and lowest bars, and to discount the shadows.

Can anyone help with this?

I have tried this myself with little success.

Thank you

Antony

Its a code that a got from the code base on mql4.com

Thanks

Antony

 

this isn't your code that's what you downloaded (this is what wrote above)

Yes I wrote that above:

"Its a code that a got from the code base on mql4.com "

It can still be modifed to suit individual needs?

Thanks

Antony

 

opps sorry (then what is your problem)

Thats ok, right, the indicator shows where that market is trending in relation to the high and low of the day.

The indicator counts the shadow of each candle, I would like this to use the close instead.

I hope I explaine that ok, my explanations are never the best.

Thanks

Antony

& the name of it u should change to Daily OPEN CLOSE.mq4 LOL

Thanks it works a lot better, but just to be a pain in the backside :( I find it is still following the lows and highs of the shadows of the candles throughout the day instead of the close.

Basically, if the market makes a new low for that day then the indicator shows it with the line accross the close of the lowest bear candle of that trading day.

Thanks again

Antony
