I cannot convert M1 data into Daily chart

New comment
 

Hello everyone,

I am using 610 build of Mt4 and I am trying to convert M1 into M5, M15 and so on up to Daily. I am using period converter script but it is simply not working. Is there any change in the way we crate higher timeframes from M1 imported data?

I`d like to add that while I am doing converting process I am offline and I am not logged in order not to download data from the broker.

Please explain step by step what you did . . .

. . . I just tried it with some M1 data, it seems to work OK for me, but only when Online, not when offline.

Give me a little time, if I can find what is going wrong and work around it quickly I will and post updated code here.
 
Just a small note - it works for me whatever connection status I have (or better say I did not spot any defect).

It appears to work for me but it doesn't convert all my M1 bars when disconnected.

Wow, never modified a Script before such that it crashes the terminal . . . didn't realise Print() was so dangerous

Edit: My fault, I copied OnDeinit(const int reason) and made it OnInit(const int reason) this crashed MT4 when run, no errors when compiled.

1. I open MT4 and I don`t login so I am offline.

2. I import M1 data.

3. I attach the period converter script on M1 chart and fill in "5" in order to get M5 chart.

OK, what you have Tools > Options > Charts Max bars in History set to ?

The highest possible number. I should say that I have done this many, many times before.

OK, I'm just trying to help . . .

Did you restart MT4 after importing your data ?


My Terminal is now working correctly with Period Converter even when offline . . . I hadn't changed Max bars in history or Max bars in chart from the default values.

Yes, I restarted MT4 few times but without success. Also I am unable to make any backtest when I am offline. When I am online everything is perfect.
