hi,

i'm coding an ea, and i m no expert,

this ea will send me an alert when the volume on the current+1 bar is lower than the n previous bar.

n is a number of previous bars to check. That will be an exported variables.

if i m not mistaken coding with " ivolume[current+1] < ivolume[current+n] " will not work.

How do i code that in the ea?

thanks

double iVolume(string symbol, int timeframe, int shift)





if you have questions like that it makes a lot of sense to look at the documentation first. (http://docs.mql4.com/series/iVolume)

Rule of thumb: functions that start with an "i" are there to get data from different timefarmes and/or different currencies. Please look what input parameters are required. volume will do the trick but it is also possible with ivolume.

You are aware that "Volume" in MT4 has nothing to do with the number of lots traded ? is is purely a count of ticks during the bar for the current timeframe.
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .
