How to get value for pair that is not in current chart?

Could someone please help me to modify the codes inside getSixths() below so that I call this function in EA to get values for TopLine and BottomLine for caurrency pairs that EA is not attached to. Say I attached EA to EURUSD chart, but I want to get values for AUDJPY pair, I will pass AUDJPY to GetSixths(symbol) to get TopLine and BottomLine for AUDJPY.


TopLine = High[iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,BarCount,1)];
if (High[0] > TopLine) TopLine = NormalizeDouble(High[0], Digits);
BottomLine = Low[iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,BarCount,1)];
if (Low[0] < BottomLine) BottomLine = NormalizeDouble(Low[0], Digits);

Basically I want to get TopLine and BottomLine value for AUDJPY while running EA in EURUSD chart.

Paul,

Do you need to use iHigh in this line of code? if yes, how?


TopLine = High[iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,BarCount, 1)];

TopLine = iHigh("AUDJPY", PERIOD_M15, iHighest("AUDJPY",PERIOD_M15,MODE_HIGH,BarCount, 1))

You should always look into the mql documentation, there your answer is obvious:
http://docs.mql4.com/series/iHighest

Quote
int iHighest( string symbol, int timeframe, int type, int count=WHOLE_ARRAY, int start=0) Returns the shift of the maximum value over a specific number of periods depending on type. Parameters:
symbol - Symbol the data of which should be used to calculate indicator. NULL means the current symbol. timeframe -...

Replace the "NULL" with the pair you wish to get the iHighest value from:
TopLine = High[iHighest("AUDJPY",0,MODE_HIGH,BarCount,1)];
Same for timeframe. Replace the "0" with 5 or 15 or 30 or 60 .... you get the idea ?

THIS IS WRONG. This will get the info from the current chart/symbol. The question specifically asks for info from a chart/symbol the EA IS NOT ATTACHED to.

My code above will satisfy the request.

Are you sure ?
Anyways, what sense does your code make ?
TopLine = iHigh("AUDJPY", PERIOD_M15, iHighest("AUDJPY",PERIOD_M15,MODE_H IGH,BarCount, 1))

I would say that TopLine = iHighest("AUDJPY",15,MODE_HIGH,BarCount,1)
is enough.

I'm very sure!!!

iHighest("AUDJPY",15,MODE_HIGH,BarCount,1) only returns the shift of the maximum value over the defined bar range.

Combining this with iHigh as per my code above will then get the value for the shift found with iHighest, which is exactly what the question asks for.

Paul,

Thank you very much.

It is correct.

GetBarCount(PairsToTrade);
double TopLine = iHigh(PairsToTrade, PERIOD_H1, iHighest(PairsToTrade,PERIOD_H1,MODE_HIGH,BarCount, 1));

Print(PairsToTrade + " Top: " + TopLine);
if (iHigh(PairsToTrade, PERIOD_H1, 0) > TopLine) TopLine = iHigh(PairsToTrade, PERIOD_H1, 0);
Print(PairsToTrade + " Top2: " + TopLine);

double BottomLine = iLow(PairsToTrade, PERIOD_H1, iLowest(PairsToTrade,PERIOD_H1,MODE_LOW,BarCount, 1));
Print(PairsToTrade + "Bottom: " + BottomLine);
if (iLow(PairsToTrade, PERIOD_H1, 0) < BottomLine) BottomLine = iLow(PairsToTrade, PERIOD_H1, 0);
Print(PairsToTrade + " Bottom2: " + BottomLine);
