Control of the NewBar() Function

My question is this. How can I control which New Bar the NewBar() code will use?

//--------------------------------------------------------+

if (NewBar() )
{ // if a new bar has opened

} // end new bar

//--------------------------------------------------------+

bool NewBar()
{
static datetime dt = 0;
if (Time[0] != dt)
{
dt = Time[0];
return(true);
}
return(false);
}
//--------------------------------------------------------+

I'm working through an EA and trying to apply the New Bar requirement for entries. I've borrowed the above code from some previous work and think it is correct ... (time will tell).

My question is this. How can I control which New Bar it will use? Hopefully there is a way to code it to a particular window (such as 60, or 240) instead of having it float or simply attached to the open window.

The bool part is at the end of the EA.

Your thoughts, comments & code help is, as always, appreciated.

I dont think MQL have that function ?
To check the new bar appears, you may use iVolume

iVolume( string symbol, int timeframe, int shift)

and put 0 ( zero ) to shift parameter.

ex :

if (iVolume(NULL,0,0) == 1)

this mean to detect the new bars appears

instead of using the Time function in the newbar function, just use iTime. It will let you specify which timeframe to look at.

I'm sorry Magnum. My limited ability here has me stumped. I'm assuming you mean to use ... iTime(NULL,PERIOD_H1,i) ... I'm just not sure where to put it or what exactly to replace.

It would save me quite a bit of time, frustration and wrong applications if you wouldn't mind showing where & how it should go.

Thanks as always... PP.
