YTD % changed - or in points

New comment
 

Hi. May I ask if there's anyone who knows how to write the 

 YTD % changed - or in points of any particular symbol ?

Example:

EURUSD YTD% changed = Current Price - December 31,2014

 

Thanks.

Hi Vantages

Sorry, are you talking about how to write it in code? MT4 or 5?

Cheers

Thank you for your response.

Yes. Right now, I only know for monthly:

 MTD = ( MarketInfo ( Symb1,MODE_BID ) - iClose ( Symb1,PERIOD_MN1,1 ) );

It would be much useful to me if I would know the YTD% & YTD points.

Thanks.

 
It's for MT4.

You could try something like this. I'm not at my trading PC so can't confirm if this compiles but it should do the trick.

Do the standard 4/5 digit broker check in OnInit() (after declaring the variable "point" in your declarations):

// Broker digits
   point=Point;
   if((Digits==3) || (Digits==5))
     {
      point*=10;
     }

 Then add this in your main iteration:

   datetime EndOfYear=D'2014.12.31 00:00';
   int      EndOfYearShift=iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_D1,EndOfYear);
   double   EndOfYearClose=iClose(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,EndOfYearShift);
   double   CurrentPrice=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_BID);
   double   YTDPoints=( (CurrentPrice - EndOfYearClose)/point );
   double   YTDPercent = ( (CurrentPrice - EndOfYearClose) ) / (CurrentPrice )* 100;
   Comment  ("Points: ", YTDPoints, " Percent: ", YTDPercent, "%");

 

Hope that points you in the right direction

Cheers
