Hi moha,

This will return the bar number of the two bars corresponding to the times you are seeking on the chart:

http://docs.mql4.com/series/iBarShift

Those numbers, manipulated and plugged into:

http://docs.mql4.com/series/iHighest

will return the value of the highest 'type' (as specified by the third parameter of the the function).

Then you would use the bar found by iHighest as input in:

http://docs.mql4.com/predefined/variables/high

(for example to find the highest high)

You mention your looking for a 'highest price'. I assume you mean the highest high as opposed to the highest low, open or close...

This should be a good start in your attempt to find a highest value in a specified time period.

how i use iBarShift for find the bar number of the two bars corresponding to the times between 23:00 -02:05 for each day in tester
when i code:

PHP Code
extern datetime  T1=D'23:00';
extern datetime  T2=D'02:05';
MetaEditor tell me :


Quote
'02:00' - date literal string is incomplete

and turn T1 into today 02:00

Now I write:
PHP Code
shift=iBarShift(NULL,0,T1,0)-iBarShift(NULL,0,T2,0);
tester return shift to number of bars for special day not for each day
How set date-time for each day?

Regards.\

Try...
PHP Code
double h;
int s,f;
datetime ts,tf;
ts=StrtoTime(TimetoStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" 12:05";
tf=StrtoTime(TimetoStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" 18:00";
s=iBarShift(Symbol(),Period(),ts);
f=iBarShift(Symbol(),Period(),tf);

h=ihighest(Symbol(),Period(),MODE_HIGH,s,f);

pos is arguman for send limit (find Now time in function)
PHP Code
 
ExtMapBuffer1[limit]=FindHigh(T1,T2,limit);
and in function definatio:

double FindHigh(datetime t1,datetime t2,int pos);


(limit --> pos)

moha,

I just looked through your code quickly. it looks like you are trying to find the highest high and the lowest low in a designated time period. is this the cae?
