Indicator or expert?

[gnovak]

Although I've programmed in various languages for the past 20 years, the time dimension of MQ4 is loosing me.

I would like to have something alert me after the following condition is met:

Current -2 Low < Current -1 Low && Current -2 High < Current -1 High

A sell would occur as soon as the current price drops below the previous bar's low, but only once.

The sell indicator gets me.

How do I find the instantaneous current price in an hourly chart?

Any guidance would be helpful as this is my first one....

Look at this, some of your questions should be answered

Chart bars are numbered 0 for the current bar, 1, 2, 3 etc going backwards into the past.

Bar index 0 is always the current bar.

"How do I find the instantaneous current price in an hourly chart? "

price = Bid;

price = Close[0];

price = iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1);

price = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID);
