[MQL4] How to access the value of MACD H1 on M15 chart ???

mrsunftu 2016.12.08 07:47

Dear all,

I try to make the custom indicator about the cutting of MACD main & signal.

Rule is (with the upTrend):

1. With M15 the MACD main line cut up the signal line -> sign1.

2. Sign1 = true -> with H1, check the MACD on the up or down trend (uptrend when mainH1 cut up signalH1 & oppsite). -> sign2.

3. Sign2 = true -> insert an UParrow on the MACD line.

Now, I'm stick on the mud with access the value data of the H1. So, could you please show me the way to access the value data of MACD H1 ???

Thank you so much.

You are mixing apples and oranges

Tks, but, I've try to 2loop of for, it's still not work .. :(

I 've just try to 2loop, but still have problem with the value of "Bars".

Bars -> is the no. candle of M15 chart.

I find the iBars or iBarsShift but, i still can't find the right way.

mainL1= iMACD(NULL,PERIOD_H1,Fast,Slow,Signal,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_H1,Time[i]));

And so on for each time frame you use, but you shall have to adjust your "limit" too in order to avoid repainting

Mladen Rakic:

mainL1= iMACD(NULL,PERIOD_H1,Fast,Slow,Signal,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_H1,Time[i]));

And so on for each time frame you use, but you shall have to adjust your "limit" too in order to avoid repainting

Tks, I'll try. & report again.
