Have you read the reference abut iMA?
double iMA( string symbol, // symbol int timeframe, // timeframe int ma_period, // MA averaging period int ma_shift, // MA shift int ma_method, // averaging method int applied_price, // applied price int shift // shift );
so your:
iMA(NULL,60,20,0,0,1,0)
is the most recent iMA(..) of
1) chart symbol,
2) H1 period (not 5 min)
3) 20 bars
4) shift=0
5) SMA
6) PRICE_OPEN (not closed?)
7) most recent bar 0
Is this what you want to have?

Yes have read the reference...but
2) Yes Price is H1
3) Yes 20 bars
4) Yes shift=0
5) Yes Simple
6) I want the current (i.e. new candle every 5M) value for the H1. Not Open etc. Is this the Close? Whilst I've been writing this post the value for the 20 SMA on Cable has been 1.50782, then 1.50783 etc. I need the value of this whatever it is, every 5M candle...
7) I use 0 thinking that is the current as per (6)
Not sure where this is going wrong....?!
PRICE_OPEN refers to the open of the bar and will always be the same
PRICE_CLOSE refers to the close of the bar, for the current bar, it is the current price
PRICE_OPEN refers to the open of the bar and will always be the same
PRICE_CLOSE refers to the close of the bar, for the current bar, it is the current price
Ok GumRai, thx for that.
I had a look over the code and there was a problem elsewhere - I'd used PRICE_OPEN (Value 1 not 0 as it should have been). From now on I'm going to use the ID not Value to make it clearer... ;-)Ok GumRai, thx for that.

1) Well didn't you see the link there of:
applied_price
[in] Applied price. It can be any of ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE enumeration values?
2) Too many people ask without reading the reference (or forum-searching, or googeling) where they would have find the solution of their problem!
3) The examples there (and elsewhere) are very good examples from where they could learn a lot more than just the answer of their question!
4) Therefore I want to help the people to solve their problem on their own but answering every simple question.

It doesn't.....that's why I asked the question!
Maybe you should read the reference yourself before posting? Just a suggestion....;-)
it doesn't??
PRICE_CLOSE 0 Close price PRICE_OPEN 1 Open price
And if you don't understand Close price and Open price you'd better start reading the whole book you might lose a lot of money.

Hello All,
I have an EA running on M5 TF.
Start function is:
In ManageTrade() function there is this code:
I need the value of the iMA for the current (0) H1 but the value appears to be for the previous. e.g. at 19:34 GMT the H1 is 1.5078 but Sell_Price above is 1.5081 (the 19:00 level).
Hope someone can point out how to remedy this...
Thx
