What's with the horse text?

An accident.

Alexey Viktorov:

What if a person writes for himself or herself?

It's not like he can measure the distance from an invisible point anyway, the intersection will be somewhere else.

Taras Slobodyanik:

It will not measure the distance from an invisible point anyway, the intersection will be in a different place.

I was saying that if a person is writing for himself, he understands what he is doing and understands what will happen.

If you do not know how to check the correctness of deals, they will hang in the air, and the user will say - MT4 is a glitchy one)

And it is precisely to measure from an invisible point that you need to put this value into a variable.

And just to measure from an invisible point, you need to put this value into a variable.

that's how Grails are born)

then not into a variable, but into a buffer, because there will be a lot of such points.

Look at what you get in the end. Bottom indicator, I didn't touch native code, I just played with parameters. I changed zero bar to the first bar in the price chart in the code of the indicator.

Alexey Viktorov:

At the moment of crossing, the value of the MA was not the same as it became after the bar was closed. Therefore, this value can only be found at the moment of crossing.

It is how you want the value to be memorized.

But keep in mind that

Close[0]=Open[0] 
и Close[0]=High [0] и Close[0]=Low[0]

at the opening of a candle.

Therefore, if you need instantaneous, real-time data, you'd better use

double Bidd=NormalizeDouble(Bid,Digits); если цена сверху или
double Askk=NormalizeDouble(Askk,Digits); если цена снизу МА

double MA_lo=NormalizeDouble(MA_lo,Digits);

It's better to normalize all prices to be compared in the condition, so you won't be surprised :)

Good heavens! Did I want something? Did I ask for anything? Who do you think I am?

Hello all!
When writing code to test an EA, I need to search for the low in real time inside each minute candlestick. To do this, I chose a predefined variable Low[0] with index 0. The index is zero to search for the low in each current candle.

Here is my code
void OnTick()

{

Print("------------", Low[0] );

}

On the first (yellow) candlestick, the variable shows the minimum as I need it to

On all subsequent candlesticks until 2010.01.04 00:30:00 the variable shows -1.6119, i.e. it repeats the minimum of the first candle, rather than looking for minima on every single minute candle.
On the candlestick 2010.01.04 00:30:00 it shows every minimum again

On the next candle after this one it shows -1.6128 , i.e. it repeats the minimum of the first candle instead of looking for lows inside each one-minute cand le.

Instead of Low[0] variable I used the same function iLow(NULL , 0,0) , but the effect was the same.
QUESTION
How to use the mentioned function or variable to search for a minimum in every minute candle, or what other function is it possible to use in MQL4?

Thank you all for your help.

iLow(NULL,1,0)
