MQL4 code: iHighest

  • First Post: Dec 5, 2015 1:06pm Dec 5, 2015 1:06pm
Hey, could someone help me please?¿

I am trying to get the highest and lowest value of a certain number of bars starting from the bar which is already closed. (for this example, lets say 6 bars). And obviously I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone correct me?

to get the highest I write this:

double Highest = iHighest (Symbol(), Period (), MODE_HIGH, 6, 1);

for the lowest:

double Lowest = iLowest (Symbol(), Period(), MODE_LOW,6, 1);


but I don't seem to get the right values. What is wrong?

You are getting the index of the highest, not the price
High[ iHighest (Symbol(), Period (), MODE_HIGH, 6, 1)];
or if it is from another timeframe or symbol, use iHigh

Thanks Gumrai,

how do I get the highest price? I still don't know how to get the highest price of 6 bars using iHigh.

iHigh gives me the highest price of a specific bar right? not from a range of bars...?

knd060-
What Gumrai posted should work but you have to know what the starting point is of the 6 bars you want the highest price of
in this case 1 is the second candle from right to left when looking at it on your chart. It will give you the highest and lowest of bars 1 through 6
Inserted Code
//double PeriodHighest = High[iHighest(Symbol(),0,MODE_HIGH,6,1)];
//double PeriodLowest  =  Low[iLowest(Symbol(),0,MODE_LOW,6,1)];

and to answer your question iHigh(Symbol(),0,1) is the same as High[1] Except iHigh() lets you read a different symbol and timeframe from the current one

Hi everyone, I have a similar question about the use of iHighest


I want the indicator to place an arrow at the bar that meets the criteria, but it seems the third and fourth condition are not taken into account, so I get arrows at every candle that meets the first two criteria.

if(iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M15, MainTrend, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 2+i) < iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M15, MainTrend, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 1+i)
&& iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M15, 21, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 2+i) > iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M15, 21, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 1+i)
&& iVolume(NULL, PERIOD_M15, i) >= iHighest(NULL, PERIOD_M15,MODE_VOLUME, 100, i)
&& iLow(NULL, PERIOD_M15, i) <= iLowest(NULL, PERIOD_M15,MODE_LOW,50,i)

A compile results in zero errors.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

int hourtime=TimeHour(Time[opentime]);
// hourtime=opentime;

int hourtime1=TimeHour(Time[closetime]);
// int hourtime1=closetime;
if (hourtime==opentime&&hourtime1==closetime)

what could be the expected output if
inputs:
opentime=0;
closetime=4;
will i get the time period of 0:00 - 04:00 data meand the candle prices?

I know how to get right value, see:
double highest =High[iHighest(Symbol(),0,MODE_HIGH,6,1)];
in MQl4 that mean: get highest for 6 candle, from 1 candle, and value you get highest value from candle 1 to candle 7 (1 + 6 candle).

Third and fourth conditions don't make too much sense as they appeared in your code. Can you describe what you are after in third and fourth conditions?

int highShift = iHighest (_Symbol, _Period, MODE_HIGH, numOfBars);
int lowShift = iLowest (_Symbol, _Period, MODE_LOW, numOfBars);

double hHigh = High(highShift);
double lLow = Low (lowShift);


// high and low shift is the index or position of the bar.
// hHigh and lLow is the price of the highest and lowest bars.
