Error -1 iBarShift

fly7680 2022.10.03 21:01

hi everyone, i have a problem with this iBarShift function.

As soon as I look for a candle before midnight on the server, it returns error -1 as if it has no data history but the history is there.

void OnTick()
  {
  
   Data       = TimeCurrent();
   Mezzanotte = Data - (Data % 86400); // 86400 == 1 Day in seconds      
   
  
  Mezzanotte  = Mezzanotte+25200; // 25200 -7 Time 00:00 New York
  Mezzanotte1 = Mezzanotte-86400; // 86400 -24 hours  New York
  
   
  index       = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,Mezzanotte);
  index1      = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,Mezzanotte1,true);
   
  LineaV("LineaMezzanotte",0,index,Blue);
  LineaV("LineaMezzanotte1",0,index1,Blue); 
  
  
  Print(TimeToString(Mezzanotte )+"---"+"Indice Mezzanotte : "+IntegerToString(index));
  Print(TimeToString(Mezzanotte1)+"---"+"Indice Mezzanotte1: "+IntegerToString(index1));
  
  /*  
  Print("Numero totale di barre per il periodo-simbolo specificati al momento = ", 
         SeriesInfoInteger(Symbol(),Period(),SERIES_BARS_COUNT)); 
  
  Print("La prima data per il simbolo-periodo in questo momento = ", 
         (datetime)SeriesInfoInteger(Symbol(),Period(),SERIES_FIRSTDATE)); 
  
  Print("La prima data nello storico per il simbolo-periodo sul server = ", 
         (datetime)SeriesInfoInteger(Symbol(),Period(),SERIES_SERVER_FIRSTDATE)); 
  
  Print("I dati dei simboli sono sincronizzati = ", 
         (bool)SeriesInfoInteger(Symbol(),Period(),SERIES_SYNCHRONIZED)); 
  */
  
  }

A little help please, thank you!

I understand that if I get the error -1 it means that I don't get historical data ... ok!

But how can I recover this data?

This morning this data was present but when I tried with ibarschift to go to the past I got error -1 again!!!

If your program compiles without any error but doesn't do what is should use the debugger and control the relevant variables:

https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/272 // Tracing, Debugging and Structural Analysis of Source Code
https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/35 // scrol down to: "Launching and Debuggin"

I would recommand to check the time setting.

MetaEditor has a built-in debugger allowing you to check a program execution step by step (by individual functions). Place breakpoints in the code...

Thanks for the answer, I also tried debugging but the result doesn't change. From the screnn you can see how the date calculated with the variable Mezzanotte3 is correct but with the iBarShift() on line 101

index3      = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,Mezzanotte3,true);

I get error -1 that is there are no candles in the graph but instead it is not so.
