How to get the value of e.g. price and CCI - page 2

New comment
 

Thanks onewithzachy,

I have tried to follow the thread + i have set the 'Max bars in chart' to 99999999999999 and as you say now it now shows me 2147483647, but it still doesn't work.

My broker is FXDD, but i have to try it on another broker to see if it works there.

 

:D I think you just post on the wrong thread there. Please delete that post, it may confuse people, and I won't reply there too.

I haven't fully check everything coz I'm doing something else too. I add a little debug to the script and it create debug file with no problem. I think the reason your script does not create a file because the extern value of "to Date" and the "from date" that you set. Why don't you check that again, coz you know that better than us.

And one more thing, even though we set max bar to unlimited on chart, not all bars/candles are loaded into chart. To solve this problem open a chart, then press and hold "Page Up" key (thanks to RaptorUK) or"Home" key and look at chart Time on the bottom of the chart. Press and hold this "page up/Home" key as long as you need until you think all the needed bars are loaded into a chart.

:D
