Record High and Low between a time period, and use it later

New comment
 

Hello guys, 

I'm new in MQL4, so I have a question. I hope you can help me

I need to record the Highest and the Lowest  between 11:00 AM and 12:00 am - 5 min chart. I need this price to use it later, so i need it static (Not 1 period back for example)

Thank you in advance.

Regards

    datetime hr1200 = date();
int      iBOD = iBarShift(_Symbol, _Period, hr1200);                // Assuming M5 chart

#define HR1100 39600 // 11 * 3600
datetime yesterday = date(Time[iBOD-1]);
datetime hr1100 = yesterday + HR1100;
int      iHr1100 = iBarShift(_Symbol, _Period, hr1100);             // Assuming M5 chart (note 4)

int      length = iHr100 - iBOD + 1;
int      iHH = iHighest(_Symbol, _Period, MODE_HIGH, length, iBOD); // Assuming M5 chart
double   HH = High[iHH];

  2. You probably don't mean between [11A … 12A]. You probably mean not including 12A bar.

  4. Note 4:

    Do not assume that every bar exists — they don't. What if there are no ticks during a specific candle period? There can be minutes between ticks during the Asian session, think M1 chart. Larger charts, think weekend, market holiday (country and broker specific), requires knowledge of when your broker stops and starts (not necessary the same as the market.)
