how to convert typical practices in MQL4 to MQL5

[seu madruga]

Hello, 

 

i see that various mql4 indicators use a NewBar() function like this:

 

what is the best conversion of this practice to MQL5 ? 

 

bool NewBar()

   static datetime LastTime=0;

   if(iTime(_Symbol,Period(),0)+time_offset!=LastTime)

     {

      LastTime=iTime(_Symbol,Period(),0)+time_offset;

      return (true);

     }

   else

      return (false);

  }

You should be ashamed to say such things, when you are not even able to do a simple search.

Help converting small piece of code from mt4 editor to mt5 editor

Before posting a question, please use the search engine, you will find a lot of existing resources :

• How to detect a new bar
• Indicate a new bar
• Improve your time execution by removing Bars function calls
• Make EA open a trade only when a new bar starts

Proposed solution in the Codebase :

• isNewBar - indicator for MetaTrader 5
• The "New bar" event handler for the indicators
• New Bar Alerter
• IsNewBar - library for MetaTrader 5

And even an article dedicated to the subject : The "New Bar" Event Handler

Why are you thinking I (or anyone) have to do that for you ?

English:

If you have not noticed this is an "English" forum. If you have difficulty with the language, please use the "Portuguese" forum. I am sure you will be more comfortable communicating in your own mother tongue.

The posters gave you the answer and offered the "support" you requested. It is not their fault you did not understand it, due to the language barrier.

However, please remember, either way, you will always need to put in the effort and do some research on your own, or alternatively, hire someone to teach you or code it for you.

Português:

Caso não tenha notado, este fórum é em "Inglês". Se tiver dificuldades com o idioma, utilize o fórum "Português". Tenho a certeza de que será mais confortável para si, comunicando na sua própria língua materna.

Os utilizadores deram-lhe a resposta e o "apoio" que solicitou. Não é culpa deles que voçê não tenha entendido, devido à barreira linguística.

No entanto, lembre-se, que de qualquer forma, precisará sempre de esforçar-se um pouco e fazer alguma pesquisa por conta própria, ou alternativamente, contratar alguém para ensiná-lo ou codificar por si.
