iHigh function:
Returns High price value for the bar of specified symbol with timeframe and shift.
double iHigh( string symbol, // symbol int timeframe, // timeframe int shift // shift );
Parameters
symbol
[in] Symbol name. NULL means the current symbol.
timeframe
[in] Timeframe. It can be any of ENUM_TIMEFRAMES enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.
shift
[in] Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).
Returned value
High value for the bar of specified symbol with timeframe and shift. If local history is empty (not loaded), function returns 0. To check errors, one has to call the GetLastError() function.
Note
For the current chart, the information about high prices is in the High[] predefined array.
Example:
Print("Current bar for USDCHF H1: ",iTime("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,0),", ", iOpen("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,0),", ", |
iLow function:
Returns Low price value for the bar of indicated symbol with timeframe and shift.
double iLow( string symbol, // symbol int timeframe, // timeframe int shift // shift );
Parameters
symbol
[in] Symbol name. NULL means the current symbol.
timeframe
[in] Timeframe. It can be any of ENUM_TIMEFRAMES enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.
shift
[in] Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).
Returned value
Low price value for the bar of specified symbol with timeframe and shift. If local history is empty (not loaded), function returns 0. To check errors, one has to call the GetLastError() function.
Note
For the current chart, the information about low prices is in the Low[] predefined array.
Example:
Print("Current bar for USDCHF H1: ",iTime("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,0),", ", iOpen("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,0),", ", |

Thanks for the replies.
Went with this solution
MqlRates PriceDataTableDaily[]; ArraySetAsSeries(PriceDataTableDaily,true); CopyRates(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,0,1,PriceDataTableDaily); PriceDataTableDaily[1].high PriceDataTableDaily[1].low PriceDataTableDaily[1].close
Thanks for the replies.

You're going to get an array out of range error calling for the second element in an array size of 1. Also, there's no need to set the array as series when it only has one element.
MqlRates PriceDataTableDaily[]; CopyRates(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,0,1,PriceDataTableDaily); PriceDataTableDaily[0].high PriceDataTableDaily[0].low PriceDataTableDaily[0].close
int BarShift(int cur_i){return(iBarShift(Symbol(),TimeFrame,Time[cur_i],false));} double high(int cur_i){return(iHigh(Symbol(),TimeFrame,BarShift(cur_i)));} double low(int cur_i){return(iLow(Symbol(),TimeFrame,BarShift(cur_i)));}
No such functions in MT5. Why did you post your MT4 solution when this post is in the
Root /
MT5 Systems section not in the
MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)
