reading offline chart indicator in another different offline chart...

Is this possible?

I'm sure someone has done it before but I can't find information about this. 

If anyone can or knows how to do this can they send me a private message please.

 

Much appreciated.

Why PM you ?.

Yes by using MT Global Variable (https://docs.mql4.com/globals) or File Operation (https://docs.mql4.com/files), or using dll.  

BTW, thank you for asking this in mql4 forum instead in mql5 forum.

Use iCustom()  but make sure you use the correct symbol name for the offline data and the correct timeframe for the offline data  . . . .  I've never tried this but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

The reason I asked for pm is because I thought I would get an email telling me someone has replied otherwise how would I know if I get a reply keep visiting for decades? You need a system here like other forums that sends you an email when a reply is made.

Also the link you provided is like me trying to read another language I'm no programmer but I learn fast is shown an example.

I'm not a programmer so can you post me the line that would use the open of a simple moving average from say 10 ticks offline chart onto another 4 tick chart please?

You are trying to work with tick charts ?  if you are not a programmer you are going to have to learn pretty quick . . .

Read the documentation on iMA()  and fit the parameters to those you are using with your offline charts . . .

Hi raptor

 

I use this line in my indicator on an offline chart

 

double mao = iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_OPEN,i);

 

so to read this indicator from another offline chart say M2, what changes will i need?

 

I cant have this line..

 

double mao = iMA(NULL,Period_M2,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_OPEN,i); 

 

Because this M2 does not exist under the normal coding right?

You can't use PERIOD_M2,  no,  but PERIOD_M1 is a standard constant and represents the timeframe and is a value of 1,  so the equivalent for M2 would be 2 . . .  this will match your offline chart as long as your offline chart has been written with a timeframe of 2 in the header.

so this will work ?

Well,  it depends on the Symbol name used in your offline chart . . .  if it's the same as the chart that you run that code on then yes it should work,  as long as you want a MA based on a single bar . . .

I have tested it and It does not work unless I did something wrong but i recall trying this before doing exactly as you recommended and it not working.

Did you test it yourself or your going by wha you feel would work?

 

So you know i tried from offline to offline and offline to time based and non worked.
