multichart/timeframe scanning : help me with ideas

 

suppose, Broker offers 260 instruments . Each instruments got 7 time-frames which i want to scan for.(5,15,30,60,240,1440,10080)


for each intruments & each timeframes, i need to save info like :

bool  Trading_allowed_on_M5 = true; 

Im currently using an array

string symbol="";
int chartPeriod;
bool tradingAllowed[SymbolsTotal(true)][7];//7 means 7 timeframes  & its a 2d array

int periods[7]={PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M15,PERIOD_M30,PERIOD_H1,PERIOD_H4,PERIOD_D1,PERIOD_W1};

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////scanning all instrunmenbts & timneframes by 2D loop
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
for(int zz=0;zz<SymbolsTotal(true);zz++)/////////symbols loop
  {
     for(int timeFrame=0;timeFrame<7;timeFrame++)///timeframe's loop
       { 
          //get all values from 
          symbol=SymbolName(zz,true);chartPeriod=periods[timeFrame];
            
             if (iRsi>70 )//***for "current" timeframe & "current" symbol
                       {
                          tradingAllowed[zz][timeFrame]=true;/////****TurnON FLAG
                       }
          
          if(   tradingAllowed[zz][1]//on M5 chart
             && tradingAllowed[zz][2]//on M15 chart 
             && tradingAllowed[zz][3]//on M30 chart
            ) Alert(" M5, M15, M30--all are over 70");


It may not be a smart way to do it(using arrays), i think there can be simpler ways to achieve this. Maybe class/struct?? but not sure how long they stay alive in memory.


Any simpler ways would be great.

Nothing is more simple then an array.

yes you are right. The code size is getting tremendous --following this traditional ways tho. But i couldn't find any better/simpler ways.
