iHighest error 4051

 

Using iHighest I get this error but I honestly do not know what you mean

//--- main loop
   for(int i = 0; i <= 300; i++)
     {      
    
         double val;

    
         bool Pattern = iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 1+i)  > iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 1+i)  
                     && iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 2+i)  > iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 2+i)
                     && iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 3+i)  > iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 3+i)
                     && iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 4+i)  < iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 4+i);
                    
         int N = iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_CLOSE,6+i,4+i);
        
         if(N!=-1) val = Close[N];
         else PrintFormat("Error in call iHighest. Error code=%d",GetLastError());
      
      //Indicator Buffer 1
        if( Pattern ) Buffer1[N] = val + 50*Point ;
 

List of error codes

This value is most likely >= Bars, giving -1

int N = iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_CLOSE,6+i,4+i);

To check, modify your print statement:

   PrintFormat("Error in call iHighest. Error code=%d. Bars=%i start=%i",GetLastError(),Bars,4+i)

the problem is if pattern is true, It is not always performed...I do not understand why
 
I always get the  Error in call iHighest. Error code=4051. Bars=101 start=143 144 145 146 147.....

You have your answer in the print statement. As I said:

honest_knave:

This value is most likely >= Bars, giving -1

int N = iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_CLOSE,6+i,4+i);
If you only have 101 bars, how can you start iHighest from 143?
 
I can not understand you wonder really sorry. if I write 4+i think starting from the candle 4 to the Patern...No?

You don't have enough bars.

If you only have 101 bars available, you cannot use bar 143. It doesn't exist.

Why have you picked 300? You should pick something actually related to the bars on the chart. 

for(int i = 0; i <= 300; i++)

Range not behaving as expected

First define your maximum lookback.
int lookback = ... // iMA(period) has look back of period.
                        // buffer[i+2] has look back of 2 (as TimeSeries)
                        // buffer[i-2] has look back of 2 (not TimeSeries)
                       // use maximum of all.
int lookback = ... // iMA(period) has look back of period.
                   // buffer[i+2] has look back of 2 (as TimeSeries)
                   // buffer[i-2] has look back of 2 (not TimeSeries)
                   // use maximum of all.
Old way, counting down as a TimeSeries
   int counted = IndicatorCounted();
   for(int iBar = Bars - 1 - MathMax(lookback, counted); iBar >= 0; --iBar){
      // Timeseries and Indicators Access uses index=iBar
   }
New way, counting down as a TimeSeries (Bars always equals rates_total so can be substituted.)
   for(int iBar = Bars-1-MathMax(lookback, prev_calculated); iBar >= 0; --iBar){
      // Timeseries and Indicators Access uses index=iBar
      https://docs.mql4.com/series
   }
   return rates_total-1; // Recalculate current bar next tick.

Returning rates_total-1 makes prev_calculated the same as IndicatorCounted().

Alternatively if you return rates_total then must decrement prev_calculated if non-zero at the beginning of On_Calculate to recalculate the current bar.

Always count down so you're not using future values.

New way, counting up, not a TimeSeries.
   set all accessed arrays and buffers to ArraySetAsSeries(false) Not the Predefined Variables

   for(int iBar = MathMax(lookback, prev_calculated; iBar < Bars; ++iBar){
      // To access a Timeseries use index=Bars -1- iBar
      // and convert any results back index=Bars -1- result
   }
   return rates_total-1; // Recalculate current bar next tick.
Always count up so you're not using future values.


 

 
 

I fixed the code but I have the same problem ... this indicator has to read data to the historic but it does not properly.my problem is in this line, but I do not know why

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              |

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
         const int prev_calculated,
         const datetime& time[],

         {
         int limit = rates_total - prev_calculated;
        
         //--- initial zero
         if(prev_calculated < 1) limit=MathMin(5000-1, rates_total-1-50);
         {
        
        
         //--- main loop
         for(int i = limit-1; i >= 0; i--)
         {  
      
    
         double val;
         int N;
    
         bool Pattern = Open [1+i]  > Close[ 1+i]  
                     && Open [2+i]  > Close[ 2+i]
                     && Open [3+i]  > Close[ 3+i]
                     && Open [4+i]  < Close[ 4+i];            
        
      
      //Indicator Buffer 1
        if( Pattern == true )
        
        {
         N = iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_CLOSE,6+i,4+i);        
         if(N!=-1) val = High[N];
         else PrintFormat("Error in call iHighest. Error code=%d. Bars=%i start=%i",GetLastError(),Bars,4+i);
         Buffer1[N] = val + 30*Point;
         Print("Numero Candela: "+IntegerToString(N));
        }
       }
      }
        
    

   return(rates_total);
  }
 
What did your print statements say?
 
There are no errors but the number of the candle is always 4 or not concide with the 6 or 4. the candle count with the highest closing does not work.
