I changed the script code, but the result is unfortunately the same... I don't understand why????

I entered a candle in the alert - always shows 0

entered candle value in the alert - always shows 0

int start()
  {
   double sum = 0; // Переменная должна объявляться и иницилизироваться до цикла, а не в цикле
   for(int i=1; i<=500; i++) 
      {
      int candle= (High[ i]-Low[ i])*MathPow(10,Digits);
      sum= sum+ candle;
      }  
   double total_size= sum/500.0; // При делении любого числа на целое число, результат округляется до целого числа
   Alert(" средний размер свечи (High-Low) = ", total_size);
   return(0);
  }

why do you need to raise the candle to a power ?

Hi all. Can you tell me if MT4 has such a feature. I need to view the history of 5 min charts for different years. It's to look through it manually, not to run it by an Expert Advisor. The thing is that I've tried several terminals from different brokerage companies, the history of 5min is available only for the last couple of months, but look at the year 2005 for example already impossible. I have never tried to use this kind of service.

Not a fact :)

help me out: why Alert=0 ???

here's the code for the script - it reads the average size of the candlestick

Great code, but why arrays high and low have double type and their difference is merged into integer variable? Don't be stupid with types, although I do it myself sometimes.

Because the result of High-Low is shown not in pips but in price format (for example 0.0012 instead of 12). It is not a candle but number ten. We obtain 0.0012* (10 to the power of 4) = 0.0012*10000 = 12(pips)

Service-Settings-Charts and set the maximum bars in the history (there is also the number of bars on the chart nearby, which is your case, but be aware that it will slow down tremendously), a few million is usually enough. Then Service-Archive quotes and download the necessary timeframes.

Sometimes rounded up :)

For example:

int start()
  {
   double sum = 0; // Переменная должна объявляться и иницилизироваться до цикла, а не в цикле
   for(int i=1; i<=500; i++) 
      {
      int candle= (High[ i]-Low[ i])*MathPow(10,Digits);
      sum= sum+ candle;
      }  
   int total_size= sum/500.0; // При делении любого числа на целое число, результат округляется до целого числа
   Alert(" средний размер свечи (High-Low) = ", total_size);
   return(0);
  }
