Multitimeframe indicator

New comment
 
Hello, I have an indicator that works on the basis of several timeframes. However, I have the problem that the buffers are not output correctly. I tried to find the problem but it didn't work. Would be grateful for help.

Hello, I have an indicator that works on the basis of several timeframes. However, I have the problem that the buffers are not output correctly. I tried to find the problem but it didn't work. Would be grateful for help.

Your 'limit' is based on the chart's timeframe, which cannot be directly used to access candle data of other timeframes.

Take a look at the illustration in this post : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/315648#comment_12047919 - I was trying to explain the implications of making this mistake.

Hello, I'm trying to develop an indicator that analyzes on the M30 chart when two MAs cross and then shows it on the H1 chart, but it doesn't work...
 
How could I solve the problem?
 
Don't mix apples and oranges.
 
Arthur Singer:
How could I solve the problem?

Simple question, but complex answer... LOL.

I'll need to know more about your requirements before I can answer your question.

But generally, you cannot, meaningfully, display information from smaller timeframes on a chart of larger timeframe. So you cannot expect to show M1, M5, M15, etc. data, bar by bar, on H1 chart. However, displaying larger timeframe information on smaller timeframe chart is ok.

So if your chart displays M1, it is ok to declare buffers for M5, M15, and so on although you'll need to make sure their bar times are synchronized. But if your chart is H1, you cannot declare buffers for M1, M5, etc. because it becomes meaningless since 24 H1 bars cover 1 day, but 24 M1 bars will only cover 24 minutes - so using M1[20] to compute H1[20] is completely wrong. However, nothing stops you from retrieving 24x60 bars of M1 data for internal computation... in which case they should be stored in normal arrays 60 times larger, rather than indicator buffers.

In other words, to solve the problem you're having now, you'll have to think through your requirements first, before designing and implementing your code. 

 
What I want is that if two MAs cross on M1,M5,M15,M30 and H1, then this should be represented in the form of arrows on the H1 chart.
 

Hi they can help you quickly over here https://www.mql5.com/en/job

If you ask they can tell you how and what they do because it is a lot of code and need some work to fix it.

I have this bot from binary.com,  is perfect. I  put in the bot, expected profit=100 stop loss= 500 win amount=5 initial amount=1 (the robot starts and when it gets to win 5 the bot ends.) I want to win 5 and start over with initials amount 1 in automatic until reach expected profit 100 let me know HELLO,i'm currently looking for someone...
 
Yes, but my problem isn't that big.
 
Arthur Singer: Yes, but my problem isn't that big.

Then code it yourself. If you don't know how to code, you can't possibly know how big it is.

You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. You have only four choices:

  1. Search for it,
  2. Beg at
  3. learn to code it. If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
  4. or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.
We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.
          No free help
          urgent help.
 
The code is above and as a problem I have already indicated that the indicator shows the arrows wrong or not at all.
 
Arthur Singer:
Yes, but my problem isn't that big.

Your problem is very big.
