In my opinion, help means to support and provide answers when someone doesn't understand something or when he is stuck while trying to do something.

What have you tried or what don't you understand about converting mql4 indicator to mql5 ?

Access from MQ4/5 a INFO indicator I need Any questions from newcomers

William Roeder 2020.05.13 23:16 #2

Help you with what? You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. You have only four choices:

Search for it.
Beg at
MT4: Learn to code it.
MT5: Begin learning to code it.
If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.
Hiring to write script - General - MQL5 programming forum

We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

Your indexing is not correct. By default MT5 doesn't set arrays/buffers indexed as series. So the oldest value is a index 0 and the most recent at rates_total-1.

Sorry but I don't have time for that.

Maybe someone help will take time to help you.

William Roeder 2020.05.20 15:54 #10

Perhaps you should read the manual.

Indexing in timeseries differs from a common array in that the elements of timeseries are indexed from the end towards the beginning (from the newest to oldest data).

   ArraySetAsSeries(time,true);
      currentBarTimeOpen=time[0];
