retrieving Open and Close values in MQL5

New comment
 

Hi MQL5 experts,

I'm trying to retrieve the dynamic array values for the Open and Close values in MQL5 - the equivalent of Open[] and Close[] in MQL4

Here is my attempt which is not working.

Do you guys see any obvious errors in my code? Or is there a more efficient way to retrieve the values?

double Open[];
int counto=0;   // number of elements to copy
ArraySetAsSeries(Open,true);
CopyHigh(_Symbol,_Period,0,counto,Open);

double Close[];
int countc=0;   // number of elements to copy
ArraySetAsSeries(Close,true);
CopyHigh(_Symbol,_Period,0,countc,Close);

Sorry guys, school buy error. I've used "CopyHigh" for my Close code!

Still, always looking for more efficient ways to do things, so chime in if there's a better way!

Hello you can also directly use 

iOpen(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,position);

and

iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,positon);
