See the chart below with 10000 bars you can see how it doesn't make it past 3000 before running out of data on some pairs. I guarantee that the offline chart has the same data issues.

The Basket charts has Max Bars =1000; Typically all MT4 downloads 2000 bars per instrument per period. Hence the Basket works.

One of the ways of checking and creating an index of multiple instruments is to use the following in the init().
MaxBars=10000;
for every pair
{MaxBars=MathMin(MaxBars,iBars(Pair,Period()))}

This will give yield a maximun size chart possible.

Hope it helps

Cheers

Thanks for your work Paradox. The other problem it seems is that calculating the high and low for each bar of the summed chart is rather meaningless, because the high and low for each respective pair happens at different times during the bar period, so it is nearly impossible without using tick data to represent the true spread high and spread low. This is a general weakness of MQL4 to not have some good way to do something like this.

In something like python, this would be easy with the pandas module and DataFrames, because you could line up...

I never thought about that issue with the high and low, very good point. I would think since movement is a bit correlated that it is still mostly accurate.

I have thought about doing this all outside of MT4. Mostly because of the horrible difficulty of keeping enough history in the stupid thing. I use this basic code in my single pair breakout strategy and would love a way to get it more consistent.

If you don't mind I would like to see how you go about it in Python. It has been a while since I use it. If you want to share can you PM me.
