To completely detach the functions for getting arbitrary fractals from the indicator, we should not pass by reference arrays high[] and low[] and limit value into them.
Since our code is very close to MQL5, we will have to refuse High[], Low[], iHigh() and iLow() functions. This is how it will look in this indicator:
Although, you should also check for -1 from functions GetPriceHigh() and GetPriceLow()RSI should be 15 minutes. We need the EA to check it every 20 minutes from market opening (9-00, 9-20, 9-40 etc.) Let's say at 10-20 there was a cross below the 70 level it remembers the price and at 10-40 checks if the price is lower than at 10-20 it opens a short.
Well first you need to make the time get a given number of minutes back. Here is a test script:

This script is counting down from current server time - just test getting RSI data a given number of minutes ago.
Next, we need to know the current time, and whether its value is a multiple of the minutes of the check interval. I have made it into a test EA:

Next, what do we need to know?
Good day. I am new to trading, that is why I have a lot of questions, including software, in my case it is MT4. Is it possible to display spread of currency pair in the chart window as a number, and in the same way ATR indicator? I think it would be convenient to use this way of presenting information about market situation, it is more convenient and quicker to calculate and evaluate based on averages. The second point is moving stop based on ATR. Is it possible to make it automatic? If you are sitting in a pose, then thanks to the calculator and good eyesight, you can calculate and set a stop manually - no problem. And making it automatic is a nice idea for a trader, even if it has its disadvantages, but in a good trend a trailing stop will reduce the risk of a wrong stop by a newbie. Thank you in advance.
It's simple and straightforward - display graphical objects, in particular text labels with the required data on the chart, and update them on every tick.
If you do not know what kind of trawl you are dealing with, just look for the right one ;)
Then if the RSI level has been crossed 20 minutes ago we check the price, i.e. for a short the price should be lower than 20 minutes ago. Thank you very much. If it all works out I'll be charged with the promise))
Artyom Trishkin:
Мы сможем "сейчас" проверить цену "тогда" лишь только открытия/закрытия/хай/лоу свечи, соответствующей тому времени - нету в МТ4 тиковой истории. Поэтому нужно найти пересечение на минутках для наиболее точного определения цены из имеющихся в наличии возможностей. Но что вы имеете в виду под пересечением RSI ?
It's easy and straightforward - you display graphical objects, in particular text labels with the required data on the chart, and update them on every tick.
And different trawls in kodobase are a dime a dozen - look for the right one ;)
Thanks a lot ...... we will look for it))
