Find bar of the same time one day ago
Hi guys, As described in the title, I want to find the bar of one day ago at exactly the same time. So e.g. the time now is 20:23 on the 06.10.2017 which is covered by the 20:20 M5-bar. I want to find the M5 that covers yesterday's (05.10.2017) period of 20:20. How would you do it? Thanks :)
Load bars in higher timeframe
Hi guys, So i wanted to use iBarShift to find out in a higher timeframe, which bar covers a specific time. But it does return -1 sometimes (i put false as the exact parameter ). My suspicion is that it does that because the bars are not yet initialized in the higher timeframe. Only when i enter that
How do I get the time that is most on the right of the chart?
Hi, How can I find out (programmaticaly) what the time is on the rightmost (not yet initialized) bar on the chart? For clarification: What is the time where the arrow is pointing?

Why does MT4 show bid prices instead of close?
Hi guys, The question is in the header. I thought the price was the last price where buyers and sellers met, more specifically, where bid and ask prices crossed over and a turnover of "shares" happened. Now in MT4 apparently those are the Bid prices. I understand that CFD's are not exactly shares

Place description text in the middle of line
Hi guys, So when I activate "show object description " in the chart settings, my lines will display a little text on top with the given desciption. Can i somehow change the alignement of these descriptions so that the text appears centered between start and endpoint of the line? Thanks! :)
Switching timeframes recalculates whole indicator even with IndicatorCounted()
Hi guys, So yeah, the question is in the title. I have an indicator which uses IndicatorCounted() to find out how many candles have not yet been calculated since "last time", but when i switch back and forth between two timeframes, IndicatorCounted() is always zero and thus the whole thing gets
Detect object under mouse
Hi again Is there a way to get the object(s) below the mouse cursor (or at a certain position x/y) ? I can't seem to find a function ... :/ Thanks! :)
How to not connect buffer lines between specific bars?
Hi guys So i have a Pivot Point indicator, and as you can see it always connects yesterdays PP / Support / Resistance levels with the ones of today with those steep lines: I was wondering wheter it was possible to avoid this behavior and just NOT draw these connections? Can you somehow define
Distribute slow indicator calculation over mutliple frames
Hi guys, I have an indicator which takes quite a long time to calculate. This is a problem when I try to switch quickly between periods as the chart is stuck as long as the calculation is ongoing. Now i want to spread out this slow calculation over multiple frames, so that i can still work with
