Referencing paste price on Date/Time

New comment
 

Hi All,

I want to adjust my code to reference a past time and date. Is it possible to reference the last open? So Today -1 and server time = 16:30. I currently am coding it manually.

Current Code - extern double BuyPrice=2972.10

Ideal Code - extern double BuyPrice=(Today -1 - 16:30)


Thanks

 

The last open on the daily chart;

double open = iOpen(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,0);

Yesterday's open on the daily chart;

double open = iOpen(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,1);

If you want a higher resolution you can see:

MqlDateTime

And

TimeToStruct();

I am trading SPX500 and want to reference the past market open at 9:30, 16:30 in server time. Would that be using the MqlDateTime?

    On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

    The function linked to, opens a hidden chart for the symbol/TF in question (if not already open,) thus updating history, and temporarily placing the symbol on Market Watch (if not already there,) so SymbolInfoDouble(symbol, SYMBOL_BID) or MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_BID) don't also return zero on the first call.

    On MT5: Unless the chart is that specific pair/TF, you must Synchronize the terminal Data from the Server.

  2. sutascape: Ideal Code - extern double BuyPrice=(Today -1 - 16:30) 
    datetime boy = yesterday(); // Beginning of Yesterday
#define HR1630 59400
int i430 = iBarShift(_Symbol, _Period, boy+HR1630;
double BuyPrice = iOpen(_Symbol, _Period, i430);

  3. You do understand that chart times are broker's times. On forex, your 4:30 is meaningless unless your broker uses NY+7.
