How to convert these to MQL5? IndicatorBuffers, High[], Low[]

New comment
 

I need some help. I did convert the most of codes from mql4 to mql5 but there are still some problems. 

Errors:

'IndicatorBuffers' - function not defined test.mq5 33 5
'High' - undeclared identifier test.mq5 113 18
'Low' - undeclared identifier test.mq5 113 50
'High' - undeclared identifier test.mq5 115 14
'Low' - undeclared identifier test.mq5 115 28

All codes:

it's all lowercase high not High.

same errors

"double P" is a seperate function from the OnCalculate. I take the high and low errors because of that, I think. How can I solve?

Marco is referring to

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])

it is not High[], Low[], it is high[], low[].

They can only be used in OnCalculate() or passed by reference to a function.

 

In that case you can try:

iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,bar_number);

It's the same as mql4.

It has been a long time since MetaTrader 5 was released, but MQL products for MetaTrader 4 do still prevail on mql5.com site (both in the codebase, and in the market), and in the Internet in general. This is why it's often a problem that an interesting indicator or expert adviser exists for MetaTrader 4 but is missing for MetaTrader 5. Today...

Thanks. I don't take any error or warning even with "#property strict", but there is no display in indicator window. I couldn't solve it.

thanks but it's very complicated for me :-/

 
can anybody help me? :-\
 

I have no idea what it should do but i would say drop the P and code it directly into the robot.
