Istochastic and time

New comment
 

I need that my ea check stochastic value only every 5 minutes . So i wrote like this :

....

double StochValue(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe,int buffer)
  {
   double val;

   if(buffer==0 && CurrentTime!=Time[0])
     {
      CurrentTime=Time[0];
      val=iStochastic(Symbol(),timeframe,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_MAIN,Shift);
     }

   if(buffer==1 && CurrentTime!=Time[0])
     {
      CurrentTime=Time[0];
      val=iStochastic(Symbol(),timeframe,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_SIGNAL,Shift);
     }

   return(val);
  }


But it seems that it doesn't work. I use timeframe m5 on mt4 hoping that in this way it will check only every new bar .

Thanks.

  
static datetime next_check = 0;
datetime time_now = TimeCurrent();
if(time_now >= next_check)
  {
   // put your code in here
   next_check = time_now + 300; // 5 minutes = 300 seconds
  }

excuse me , i don't understand where i have to put my code .

You need to put the code you want to be run every 5 minutes in the section I marked "// put your code in here"

In your case, probably something like this:

static datetime next_check = 0;
datetime time_now = TimeCurrent();
if(time_now >= next_check)
  {
  val=iStochastic(Symbol(),timeframe,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_MAIN,Shift);
  next_check = time_now + 300; // 5 minutes = 300 seconds
  }


If you want it to check on the open of a new M5 bar (rather than 5 minutes from when you last called the function), the code looks a little different: 

static datetime last_M5 = 0;
datetime this_M5 = iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M5,0);
if(this_M5 != last_M5)
  {
   val=iStochastic(Symbol(),timeframe,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_MAIN,Shift);
   this_M5 = last_M5;
  }

So like this ?
//Controllo stocastico ogni 5 minuti
double StochValue(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe,int buffer)
  {
   double val;
static datetime last_M5 = 0;
datetime this_M5 = iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M5,0);
if(this_M5 != last_M5 && buffer==0 )
  {
  val=iStochastic(Symbol(),timeframe,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_MAIN,Shift);
    this_M5 = last_M5; // 5 minutes = 300 seconds
  }
 if(this_M5 != last_M5 && buffer==1 )
  {
  val=iStochastic(Symbol(),timeframe,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_SIGNAL,Shift);
    this_M5 = last_M5; // 5 minutes = 300 seconds
  }
     return(val);
  }

or here is a better idea ?

void FindSignal()
  {
   if(dayfilter()==1 && WorkingHour(1)==true && ContinueTrading==true)
     {

      if(TimeFrame1==true && trade1==1)
        {
         if(GetTime(TF1,9) != EMPTY_VALUE) LastSellSignalTF1 = GetTime(TF1,9);
         if(GetTime(TF1,7) != EMPTY_VALUE) LastBuySignalTF1 = GetTime(TF1,7);
         if(RSIDiv(TF1,0)>0 && RSIDiv(TF1,0)!=EMPTY_VALUE && (MMRange(TF1,0)==true || useMM==false) && StochValue(StochTF1,0)>StochValue(StochTF1,1)+StochDelta && iStochastic(NULL,StochTF1,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0)>20 && 
            GetTime(TF1,6)>LastSellSignalTF1 && Bid<iHigh(Symbol(),TF1,2))
           {
            lastTime=(int)(GetTime(TF1,7)-GetTime(TF1,6));
            OrderEntry(0,"TF1 Trade",lastTime);
            trade1=0;
            int timen=(int)TimeCurrent();

           }

Thank you very much.

i need that ea check stochastic value when new bar at m5 is opened and memorize it . So i can compare kline and dline and set the order, because stochastic value change anytime so there is too flase signal. Thank you.

Perhaps there is an easier approach.

All you need to do is check the M5 stochastic value from the (end of) the previous M5 bar.

This is always easily accessible so no need to store the value or worry about times

double M5_stoch = iStochastic(_Symbol,PERIOD_M5,InpKPeriod,InpDPeriod,InpSlowing,MODE_SMA,STO_CLOSECLOSE,MODE_MAIN,1);


Or, only check for your signal once per bar.

ok but it is a problem if the kline cross dline because the ea still use the old direction .

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

What is your exact criteria for opening a trade?

my ea check rsi divergence on tf m1 and use stochastic on tf m5 as confirmation .
