previous bar OHLC

Hi,

Is there any possibility to make MT4 to display OHLC data of the previous bar/candle instead of the currently developing one in the upper left corner?
Or maybe there is an indicator posted somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

cheers

This one is easy. It would be a piece of code like:

Inserted Code
Comment(Open[1],High[1],Low[1],Close[1]);

and it would display right below the current OHLC

thank you very much,
but could you put it into code if it's not a problem for you?
I've been trying for a while- it compiles well but nothing comes up the screen after applying. I'm completely unfamiliar with mql structure and probably messed something up.

Why dont you post the code you have now and I might help correct it.

You post code for free, not the other way around

Actually there's nothing to show, I just tried to manipulate code of some other indicator, which is MT4 included, just deleted that code and inserted the line you suggested. Apparently there is some init() function and start () but I have no idea what to do with it. It's just a matter of trial and error for me.
I thought that it is as simple as in the case of C language for instance: main() and cout<"..." but it isn't. Or maybe it is but it's black magic for me.
I asked on the forum because I don't want to waste 2 days just to work out some simple line which I can live without.

There isn't any.
It compiles without any warning, but nothing happens after I apply it to a chart.

Hi LongToBeFree,
You are supposed to check what You programmed before You send out the program.
Just my 2 cents

Did you verify the code yourself? Until then, I would make sure that you're careful about libelous statements that you make.

Are you implying that people should use the services of a spammer instead?

My guess is... you're using it as an indicator when LongToBeFree coded it as an EA. The code works fine if you're using it as an EA.

if its going to be used as an indicator, one line needs to be added near the top

Hope this helps.

don't thank me, LongToBeFree was the one who wrote the code. I merely pointed out that its an EA and not an indicator.

Next time you get a piece of code, do a quick check and see if it has something like this

that's tell tale sign the author is writing an EA.

I mean thank you all for your effort.
Saying that it's black magic for me I meant exactly that issues.
You know that it should go something like this but there is always a detail you are unaware of because of total lack of experience in programming mql.
