In different currency pairs, the function ibarshift has different results

[Xiaolei Liu]

hello friend , Recently, I encountered a very confused problem.

   int year = TimeYear(TimeCurrent());

   int month = TimeMonth(TimeCurrent());

   int day = TimeDay(TimeCurrent());

   string s = (string)year + "." +(string)month + "."+(string)day + " " + (string)00+":00";

   datetime firstBarTm = StringToTime(s);

   int firstBarNum = iBarShift(NULL,0,firstBarTm); 

In the above code, for example, in a 1-hour chart, On the first candle, at 00:00 When in currency pair “XAUUSD” ， firstBarNum  return 1, but in  currency pair “EURUSD” ， firstBarNum  return 0 , why  ?

2. Your code	int year = TimeYear(TimeCurrent());    int month = TimeMonth(TimeCurrent());    int day = TimeDay(TimeCurrent());    string s = (string)year + "." +(string)month + "."+(string)day + " " + (string)00+":00";    datetime firstBarTm = StringToTime(s);
   Simplified	datetime firstBarTm = date();

3. Xiaolei Liu: When in currency pair “XAUUSD” ， firstBarNum  return 1, but in  currency pair “EURUSD” ， firstBarNum  return 0 , why  ?

   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.
