Build 628: Can anyone direct me too some code used in metatrader five that will work with metatrader 4 build 628

New comment
 

The Goal is to insure that the data is current and up 2 date before a Copy Rates. is Executed ....I been reviewing this article. https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/series/timeseries_access and would like 2 use some thing similar 2 CheckLoadHistory(InpLoadedSymbol,InpLoadedPeriod,InpStartDate); But I can not because SeriesInfoInteger is not implemented in 628

The Code I am using works but I have 2 change from using Time current 2 time a bars method. But this will not insure I am on the current bar . In the past I have reviewed and used The code posted from https://forum.mql4.com/53894 by WHRoeder and RaptorUK: My code is posted below theirs I know the error is most likely the if (!IsTesting()) dCurrentTime = TimeCurrent(); My concern is That when I get a failure. The Data may not be current using iMaximum_Records = CopyRates(EASymbol, EATimeFrame,0, 2048, Rates);
