Need help: ATR Value for Past / Yesterday's Specific Time

  • First Post: Edited 6:19am Feb 3, 2020 3:06am | Edited 6:19am
Hi, I need help. How to get the ATR value for yesterday's specific H1 bars of 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 only (I need the correct coding) ? Of course, if the current time now is 23:30, it should not refer to "yesterday", but yet refer to current day's past H1 bars of 21:00, 22:00, 23:00.

Would it be possible to get the ATR codes in just one line of each bar such as :-

。int shift2100=???
。int shift2200=???
。int shift2300=???

。double atr2100=iATR(NULL,TimeFrame,Period,shift2100);
。double atr2200=iATR(NULL,TimeFrame,Period,shift2200);
。double atr2300=iATR(NULL,TimeFrame,Period,shift2300);



Thanks

Sure, you have to calculate the respective "shift" values, with date and time functions, for time frame H1.

Edit: simplified...
I assume 2300 server time, however.
Inserted Code
   const int atr_period = 1;
   int hh = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());
   int shift = 0;
   if(hh < 23) shift = hh + 1;
   double atr2300 = iATR(NULL, PERIOD_H1, atr_period, shift++);
   double atr2200 = iATR(NULL, PERIOD_H1, atr_period, shift++);
   double atr2100 = iATR(NULL, PERIOD_H1, atr_period, shift);

Thanks Rockit. I just tested the codes (server time now is 14:xx), the atr2100 / atr2200 / atr2300 are dynamic values when time pass by. What I intend to get is the bar21 / bar22 / bar23's ATR value, a fixed ATR value.

The code reads the ATR values of 2100..2300 server time. These do not change. If you need 2100..2300 local time then put "int hh = TimeHour(TimeLocal());".
Otherwise I do not understand what you mean.

Thanks Rockit, I'm studying and trying to understand your codes now. It should work accordingly, thanks again.

Sure. Just make sure that you have the code that is now in the respective posting. I may have changed something but now it is fixed (I hope ).

Hi Rockit, instead of coding in hour (hh < 23), how to make it to hour and minute such as 23:00 ? If I want to use M30 as my timeframe and want to get the ATR value of 23:30, how to code ? Thanks
