Get Open Price of Current Timeframe

[guilherme15990]

I recently formatted my computer and lost a script code that did this function. I tried to recreate it but was unsuccessful.

it was like this

datetime now = TimeCurrent();
datetime nowTF = now - now % (60 * time[0]);
datetime period = iBarShift(NULL,0, nowTF);
datetime openprice = iOpen(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,period);

This will print the open price of the current timeframe


 Print("Open Price is " + DoubleToString(iOpen(NULL,0,0),Digits()));

or put it in a variable

 double OPrice = iOpen(NULL,0,0);

int period = iBarShift(NULL,0, nowTF);

should be integer

2. int period = iBarShift(NULL,0, nowTF);

   A shift is not a datetime, it's an int as Sardion stated.
   

3. datetime nowTF = now - now % (60 * time[0]);

   And that is a very big number; result total garbage. You want:

   datetime nowTF = now - now % PeriodSeconds(PERIOD_H1);

4. int      period = iBarShift(NULL,0, nowTF);
   datetime openprice = iOpen(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,period);

   You are getting the shift for the current chart but using it on the M5 chart. You are mixing apples and oranges.

I solved my problem with the code below

datetime tempo = TimeCurrent();
string DataHoraSegundosAtual = TimeToString(tempo,TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS);
string DataHoraSegundosDia = TimeToString(tempo,TIME_DATE) + " 00:00:00";
int diferenca = Bars(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,DataHoraSegundosDia,DataHoraSegundosAtual);
int BarraDeAbertura = iBarShift(NULL,0, DataHoraSegundosDia);
float PrecoDeAbertura = iOpen(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,BarraDeAbertura);
printf(PrecoDeAbertura);
