Strategy tester Close price numbers don't equal 4 hours

double ClosePrice = Close[0];

Comment(ClosePrice);

When I test this in the strategy tester the result is hundreds of numbers zipping by per second. I am trying to get one number every 4 hours.

I think a period() or PERIOD_CONSTANT is needed but I don't know where to start. The definitions from the documentation are not enough and of course I'm sure this questions has been asked before.

Where can I find a tutorial to do this?


Thanks.

 
Apparently, (post all relevant code like in which function) that code is being called per tick. Call it once per bar
For a new bar test, Bars is unreliable (a refresh/reconnect can change number of bars on chart,) volume is unreliable (miss ticks,) Price is unreliable (duplicate prices and The == operand. - MQL4 programming forum.) Always use time.
I disagree with making a new bar function, because it can only be called once per tick. A variable can be tested multiple times.

void OnTick()
  {
    double Price1 = iClose("USDCHF",1,1);
    double Price2 = iClose("USDCHF",1,2);
  }

Thanks for your help,


I think I found something that works.
