Hi all,

I am trying to write a dynamic trade hour that needs to change at the start of each day.

My problem is that if I count bars to get the lows for the last five days.. how do I get the time of each low?

does anyone have an example line of code that would do this..

thanks.

int ix = ArrayMinimum(Low, (5*1440)/Period(), 0); // any chart

datetime minTime = Time[ix]; // date and time of min value

Hi,

You can use iTime to get the time of a bar based on its shift:

datetime iTime( string symbol, int timeframe, int shift)

int ix = ArrayMinimum(Low, (5*1440)/Period(), 0);   // any chart
  
   datetime minTime = Time[ix]; // date and time of min value

Be sure to test it thoroughly. Keep in mind that days in this calculation are considered to be the last 24 hour period and not from midnight to midnight.

datetime minTime[5];
double lowVal[5];
for (int j=0; j<5; j++)
{
int dayBars = 1440/Period(); // 1440 = 24*60
int ix = ArrayMinimum(Low, dayBars, j*dayBars); // any chart 1min to 1day
lowVal[j] = Low[ix];
minTime[j] = Time[ix]; // date and time of min value

}
