Emulating Time[] of MQL4 does not work

New comment
 

I am trying to write a function that emulates Time[] of MQL4 in MQL5:

datetime Time(string Pair, ENUM_TIMEFRAMES Tim, int N)
{
int start = 0; // bar index
int count = N; // number of bars
datetime tm[]; // array storing the returned bar time
ArraySetAsSeries(tm,true);
CopyTime(Pair,Tim,start,count,tm); //--- copy time 
int i = ArraySize(tm);                 
Alert (i);                         // THIS GIVES ME 0!
return tm[N];  //--- output result. THIS GIVES ME ARRAY OUT OF RANGE!
}

Can you help please?

 

Hello you can use 

iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,0);
 
No need to write your own, MT5 has iTime, iOpen, iHigh, iLow, iClose, iVolume, iBars, iBarShift, iLowest, iHighest, iRealVolume, iTickVolume, iSpread

Yeah why don't you add some more then ?

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int TimeHour(datetime time)
  {
   MqlDateTime tm;
   TimeToStruct(time,tm);
   return(tm.hour);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
There is still need to write your own and it's a lot actually.
