Vladimir Karputov :

By the way, here's the question: I create the object as standard

But the problem is created: the leftmost button has the index "0", then "1" and so on ascending .... And this numbering does not coincide with the name of the bars (# 5, # 4, # 3, # 2, # 1, # 0):

What is the best way to solve the problem?


I dont know ...

I suggested this numberation (0 as an open bar, 1 - close / previous bar, 2nd bar, etc.) simply because it's the same for MT4 (because it's understandable for users who use MT4). So, if they see this numbering, they can say - "this is the same as for MT4, and we like it." ...

And the 5th bar is not 0 bars
:)

I dont know ...
We can use other bar names ...

 

Different names of the bars:

#0 = open bar = open = zero-bar = zero
#1 = first bar = first = 1st = one = previous = prev
#2 = second bar = second = 2nd = two
#3 = third bar = third = 3rd = three
#4 = fourth bar = fourth = 4th = four
#5 = fifth bar = fifth = 5th = five

 

Light show:

Start testing "EveningStarPanel". 

The indicator consists of three files:

  1. An Indicator "EveningStarPanel"
  2. A panel "PanelDialog"
  3. An included file "PictureGroupBrb.mqh"


Panel "PanelDialog" should be in one folder with the indicator "EveningStarPanel":

one folder

An included file "PictureGroupBrb" should be in one folder "\Include\Controls\PictureGroupBrb.mqh":

Include folder

At this stage only check of input parameters - names of symbols is realized. The panel doesn't work yet.

EveningStarPanel: version 1.003
PanelDialog: version 1.003
PictureGroupBrb: version 1.003

The question of numbering is solved.

By default, the index is calculated by the formula:

Resulting index = Total number of elements - 1 - index

 
Unfortunately in a bilda of 1607 when debugging on historical data the error is noticed: in indicators OnTimer doesn't work (). 

Therefore I can't give a panel to testing.

By the way, you can check OnTimer () in the indicator like this:

   int f=0;
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Next, in MetaEditor run Debugging on History Data.

You will see that the counter does not work in the chart window (the upper left corner).

Temporarily, a workaround is made for the error associated with calling OnTimer () in the indicators when debugging on historical data:

EveningStarPanel.mq5::OnCalculate

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              | 
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,

                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
   if(prev_calculated==0)
      return(rates_total);
   OnTimer();
   return(rates_total);

and EveningStarPanel.mq5::OnTimer

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Timer function                                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTimer()
  {
   static datetime prev_time=0;
   datetime time_current=TimeCurrent();
   if(time_current-prev_time<3)
      return;
   prev_time=time_current;
//---
   ExtDialog.LightShow(InpGap,InpCandle2Type,InpCandleSizes);
  }

While in build 1607 there are problems with debugging indicators on historical data, I will temporarily freeze the project "EveningStarPanel".

But there was such an idea: with the help of Scientific Charts to display the number of found patterns "Evening Star". Something like that:

Pattern Evening Star

 
"EveningStarPanel" in the form of an archive (the instruction will be below).
Files:
MQL5.zip  11 kb
 

Instructions how to install "EveningStarPanel" from the archive.

1. Upload the archive to your computer. Click on the attached archive file:

Download MQL5.zip

2. As a result, the archive will be downloaded to your computer:

Downloaded file

3. Go to the "Downloads" folder and copy the downloaded archive.

4. In the MetaTrader 5 terminal or in the MetaEditor editor, click the "File" -> "Open Data Folder" menu.

5. In the opened folder, paste the previously copied archive:

paste the previously copied archive

6. Now the most important thing: right click on the archive and select the menu "Extract all ..."

7. It is not right:

It is not right

8. It is right:

It is right

EveningStarStatistics version 1.000

The indicator shows the number of "Evening Star" patterns in the specified date range.

Here is the work of the indicator "EveningStar":

As you can see in the given date range (current date minus one year) five patterns are found.
