how to get the time of the lastbar ? - debug problem

New comment
 

Dear All

I have some problem in getting the Datetime of the lastbar, when I want to memorize the static variable as in iNewBar function, in running backtest it runs ok, so we can avoid over trade, and just only one entry, but when I check using debugging, I found that the date save in static variable is not the current running of the history bar's datetime, but the date of the last bar which appear in the current chart,

for example, the trade begin at 2022-05-01 00:00, and the local time now is 2022-06-10 08:00, so when the first bar time I save in the static variable, in the run of backtest, it's run well that the last bar is 2022-05-01, but when I check using debugging, I see that the static variable not record the 2022-05-01 00:00, instead : 2022-06-10 08:00, so I have using time[[], itime(NULL,0,0), still cannot to get the exact runngin backtest history last bar datetime, instead always the last time of the real time chart, so How to get the really last datetime of the history running last datetime ?

many thank if can solve this problem

thanks, bob

 
Indicator or EA? MT4 or MT5?
 
Bob Tanujaya: I see that the static variable not record the x instead :y, s

thanks for the help

may be can try this:

//extern datetime Day1 = D'2022.06.01 00:05';
datetime barD1;
bool tradeNow = false;

   /*

   if(IsTesting()) {
      if(CheckEntry(Day1) && (_static_daytime!=Time[0])) {
         if(OrderSend(NULL,OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,30,0,0,NULL)) {}
         _static_daytime=Time[0];
      }
   }

   if(barD1!=iTime(NULL,PERIOD_D1,0)){
      barD1=iTime(NULL,PERIOD_D1,0);
      //if(OrderSend(NULL,OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,30,0,0,NULL)) {}
      tradeNow = true;      
   }
   //---
   if(tradeNow){

Agus Sulaiman #: may be can try this:

Be careful with NULL.

  1. On MT4, you can use NULL in place of _Symbol only in those calls that the documentation specially says you can. iHigh does, iCustom does, MarketInfo does not, OrderSend does not.
  2. Don't use NULL (except for pointers where you explicitly check for it.) Use _Symbol and _Period, that is minimalist as possible and more efficient.
  3. Zero is the same as PERIOD_CURRENT which means _Period. Don't hard code numbers.
  4. MT4: No need for a function call with iHigh(NULL,0,s) just use the predefined arrays, i.e. High[].
