Wrong values time when accessing different period chart.
It looks like the M5 chart needed to update.
If it only checks the M5 chart periodicallly, use iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M5,0) every tick just to keep it updated or make sure that the M5 time >= M15 time
When I opened the history file with F2, I noticed that the most recent date/time on the 5min data corresponded to the date/time returned above. It then seemed to automatically u[pdate itself to the current time.
Hence my problem seems to be more defined. How to I ensure the history files are kept up to date, automatically rather than relying onme to open the History option manually?

My expert runs on the 15 min chart. However I want to check Stochastic values on the 5 minute chart
When I do this I get results from the wrong time.
eg At 3:15 on 22nd March I process the 3:00 candle on the 15min chart using iStochastic(NULL,PERIOD_M15,5,3,3,0,0,0,1)
The 5 minute value at that time using iStochastic(NULL,PERIOD_M5,5,3,3,0,0,0,1) should be for the 3:10 candle on the 22nd but is actually returning the 6:00 candle on the 18th.
It may be that was the last time I looked at that M5 chart, but I'm not sure.
Does anybody have an explanation and/or a solution to force the lastest candle data to be returned?
Thanks
Kymberley
