An array is out of range

GergelyB 2016.01.26 16:48 #11

I dont? is there a function that "shows" the "wick-length"? and I can check that on the last bar when new bar is detected or something?

(Thank you very much for the arrayresize quick lesson :) )

GergelyB:

I think sharing with you my goal would help this a lot.

I would like to identify the bars where ther last price is the highest or lowest in the bar (basicly that means in a japancandelstick graph that there is no little "wick"? or how its called on the top or bottom of the candle, coming to the conclusion that the market is on a up or down trend respectively (at least for the next few ticks) and I try to use zeromemory if i find newbars.

Opening the position and close it shortly after (with relativly low take profit)

Example for upper wick :

//--- just need to be checked on each new bar
   double high[],close[];
   ArraySetAsSeries(high,true);ArraySetAsSeries(close,true);

   int copied1=CopyHigh(Symbol(),Period(),1,1000,high);
   int copied2=CopyClose(Symbol(),Period(),1,1000,close);
//---
   if(copied1!=-1 && copied2!=-1)
     {
      int copied=MathMin(copied1,copied2);
      for(int i=0;i<copied;i++)
        {
         if(high[i]==close[i])
           {
            // japanese candelstick that there is no little "wick"
            printf("Candle %i doesn't have an UPPER wick",i);
           }
        }
     }
   else
     {
      // error processing
     }

Example for upper wick :

Thank you, I think I follow all but one aspect of the example code you posted.

 for(int i=0;i<copied;i++)   
        {}

whats the reson for the For cycle? shouldn't I just use if(high[1]=close[1]) to determine if there is no "upper wick" and the same with CopyLow I assume? (since I want to see if the last closed bar had a wick at the end and try to open a position according to it on the next bar)

edit: or I misunderstand the meaning of high_ and low_ arrays , and also shouldn't i use MathMax if i search for the highest price that I want to check if its = to the close price?

It was only an example, checking the last 1000 candles. Just adapt it to your needs.

Hopefully I succesfully handled the arrays, but I have one and a half problems.

The half problem is that the EA tries to open a position instantly when its started succesfully (I assume both arrayvalue is zero therefore they are equal, I should add if xy = 0 then return something)

but my real problem is that I get error 4756.

I found this articel about it: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/5431

I had the ZeroMemory where the thread suggest it and changed int STP to double.

I can only suspect that I have some problem with my account settings (im on a demo account) but I have no idea what can cause it or even where should I look in to it)

Here is my code: (I even tried stoploss=0 from tha thread I linked)

input int      StopLoss=0;
input int      TakeProfit=15;
input int      EA_MagicBuy=12345;
input int      EA_MagicSell=54321;
input double   Lot=1;                           //Lots to trade
input string Symbol="NZDJPY";
double STP, TKP;
int i = 0; //for array resizing
double p_last[];
double p_high[];
double p_low[];

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
  // So we can change SL or TP
   STP = StopLoss;
   TKP = TakeProfit;
    if(_Digits==5 || _Digits==3)
     {
      STP = STP*10;
      TKP = TKP*10;
     }

and my OnTick:

void OnTick()
  {

  ArrayResize(p_high,ArraySize(p_high)+1,100);
  ArrayResize(p_low,ArraySize(p_low)+1,100);
  ArrayResize(p_last,ArraySize(p_last)+1,100);
  ArraySetAsSeries(p_high,true);
  ArraySetAsSeries(p_low,true);
  ArraySetAsSeries(p_last,true);
  
  int copiedhigh = CopyHigh(Symbol(),Period(),0,1,p_high);
  int copiedlow = CopyLow(Symbol(),Period(),0,1,p_low);
  int copiedlast = CopyClose(Symbol(),Period(),0,1,p_last);

PS.: I'm sorry if I should have opened a new thread for this, if a moderator comes along and tells me so I move it in to a new one, but I'm actually not sure if these are linked or not to the original problem, probably not.

PS2.: Also I know I should do the copied or not check somewhere after I actually copied....
