How could I wrtie zigzag patterns based from fractal data?

If I have all the high and low fractals how could I calculate which fractals connect in accordance to the parameters of ExtDepth, ExtDeviation, and ExtBackStep of zigzag? From current bar to last bar because I only need first couple zigzag lines, not whole chart. I'm having really hard time trying

What happens in mt4 at market close/open when open time for last bar before close is the same time as open for first bar after market open?

On time frames like hour 4 the last open bar time is 16:00 right before market closes at 17:00. Then when it reopens the first bar starts at 16:00 again. On m1 timeframe chart says market closed at 17:00 and reopened at 17:00. Are these bars cut off or something on hour 4 chart? So the price between

Good way to collect OHLC data for 'exotic' timeframes inside single EA?

I'm having trouble with my current EA. I need to collect OHLC for time frames not preprogrammed in mql4. I start at first m1 bar in history and I get the time of the first opening minute bar where day of month, day of week and time of day = 0. From that time i count forward where every next bar for

I want to make this clear. You can't call an indicator with a non-standard timeframe in stategy tester and on live chart?

Regardless of what time frame I'm running an EA on I want to be able to see indicators with different time frames (2,3,4,10,20,etc). The documentation seems to think I just want to view a value while on attached to non standard time frame. I want to use the value of a different time frame's

How come I get an error 4202(OBJECT DOES NOT EXIST) only in strategy tester?

string name; datetime t= iTime ( NULL , 1 , 0 ); double o= iOpen ( NULL , 1 , 0 ); Print (t + " " ,+o); if (B== 1 ) { RefreshRates (); name= "Buy " + TimeToStr ( TimeCurrent ())+ " " + IntegerToString (value); // Print("ObjectCreated:"+name);
