EA compare yesterdays 8pm price against todays 11am price

Hi guys
Happy easter to you all
Any skilled EA programmers out there that can help with a small query?

In my EA I am trying to find out what the price was yesterday at 20:00. Then compare against the price this morning (Between 10am-12:00 midday).

Inserted Code
datetime yestdatetime = StrToTime(StringConcatenate(Year(),".",Month(),".", (Day() -1), ", 20:00"));
   offset=iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M5,yestdatetime,false);
   YesterdayClosePrice=iClose(NULL,PERIOD_M5,offset);
   CurrentPrice=iClose("WS30",PERIOD_M5,1);
Whilst my code seems to be working (Although a little rough, new to programming) it wont go back further than 17th March. I suspect this is a problem with iBarShift possibly?

Also I am struggling to find out what the high was for the morning period (Between 10am and 12midday).

Any ideas?

PHP Code:
datetime yestdatetime = StrToTime(TimeToStr(Time[0],TIME_DATE)+" 20:00")-24*60*60;
   offset=iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M5,yestdatetime,false);
   YesterdayClosePrice=iClose(NULL,PERIOD_M5,offset);
   CurrentPrice=iClose("WS30",PERIOD_M5,1); 
Brill, Thanks Samgmane, dont fully understand it yet but I think I am getting there.

It seems to be working but still with the same problem, my backtest only goes back 11 days. As soon as I try to backtest anything but the last 11 days I get zero figures.

I am backtesting the Dow Jones Index (Hence "WS30" as my symbol). I have checked and the data is there. However I am on a demo account.

I have set offset as a double, could it be that I need a variable that can do larger numbers?

PHP Code:


double LastPrice = iClose(NULL, 0, iBarShift(NULL, 0, StrToTime("20:00") - 24*3600, true));
