ChartNavigate function doesn’t work, Please help

[claudio]

I can imagine that this is suppose to be simple, but I just can’t get it working.

This simple code:

ChartNavigate(0,CHART_BEGIN,4000);
Print(time[4000]);

Rather than scrolling the chart to the bar number 4000, it scrolls the chart to the beginning.

The line “Print(time[4000]); ” just give the confirmation of the existence of that bar.

Any help will be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Try vice verse

ChartNavigate(0,CHART_BEGIN,-4000);
Print(time[4000]);

Hi Rosh, still exactly the same, the chart scrolls to the very beginning (oldest price).

Maybe something has to be set inside the terminal …I don’t know…

I think inside the function ChartNavigate I’ve already tried all the possible combinations…

Thank you, we are investigating this issue.

ThankYou very much.

I'll be waiting for an answer on this thread

I received the update.

Now my Metatrader is version: 5.00 Build 387 (31 Jan 2011)

Unfortunately the issue is still the same

I’ve tried the code

ChartNavigate(0,CHART_BEGIN,4000);

 and the viceversa one

ChartNavigate(0,CHART_BEGIN,-4000);

I’ve tried this code several times and I’ve add some more time(20000) to better understand what was going on.

That’s what I did:

-         I scroll the chart to a random point

-         I start the script: the chart scrolls to the absolute beginning

-         I scroll the chart to a random point

-         Second ChartNavigate: The chart doesn’t make a move

-         I scroll the chart to a random point

-         Third ChartNavigate: the chart scrolls to the absolute beginning

-         I scroll the chart to a random point

-         Fourth ChartNavigate: every time this last ChartNavigate runs, the chart is moving to a different place. It seems to be always between bar 1000-2000 from the beginning

 

Given that the last ChartNavigate was moving somewhere, I tried it alone. This time the chart just doesn’t move.

 

I run once again all this experiments, this time printing the return value of each ChartNavigate: the return value is always TRUE.

 

Hope this helps

It's strange. I couldn't reproduce similar behaviour. Can you write to Servicedesk?
