problem with iClose (I think)

New comment
 

Hi all,  I'm trying to send myself an alert when the difference between the closing price of the GBPJPY and EURJPY reaches a desired amount.  I trying to use iClose to reference the close of the EURJPY while on a GBPJPY chart.  I think the syntax is wrong, but I'm stuck.  Thank you in advance for the help.

okay  thanks I didn't know how to do that
 

Hi,

you have to put a variable her

double closevalue iClose("SubSymbol","timeframe",1);

And work with the closevalue variable.

But I think your code is strange.

Where are you getting the values for GBPJPYprice and EURJPYprice from??

 
Hi Sunshineh, Thanks for the help!  I'm entering the GBPJPYprice and EURJPYprice myself.  But now that you mention it, there is probably better way to do that.  Any advise in that regard would be great!
