Value of a particular candle

I need to get the value of a particular candle, for example H1 10:00 today or the previous day. How do I get the size anytime during the day, Low, High, some specific candle?

Get the shift for the time you want. Then get what you want from that candle.	#define SECONDS int #define HR2400 86400 // PERIOD_D1 * 60 SECONDS time(datetime when=0){ return SECONDS((when == 0) ? TimeCurrent() : when) % HR2400; } datetime date(datetime when=0){ return ((when == 0) ? TimeCurrent() : when) - time(when); } /////// #define HR1000 36000 // 10 AM datetime when = date() + HR1000; int iBar = iBarShift(NULL,0, when); double h = High[iBar];

#define SECONDS         int
#define HR2400          86400 // PERIOD_D1 * 60
SECONDS    time(datetime when=0){
   return SECONDS((when == 0) ? TimeCurrent() : when) % HR2400;                }
datetime   date(datetime when=0){
   return ((when == 0) ? TimeCurrent() : when) - time(when);                   }
///////
#define HR1000 36000 // 10 AM
datetime when = date() + HR1000;
int      iBar = iBarShift(NULL,0, when);
double   h = High[iBar];

Thanks for info.

MQL can not, so your design can not be used. But we helped iBarShift command that I used to what is already known and works it.

   double A = iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_M1,iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M1,D'10:31'));         
   double B = iLow (NULL,PERIOD_M1,iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M1,D'10:31'));
   double X = A - B;  // size candle M1 10:31 today

THX for idea
