How to separate day of the week in indicator?

New comment
 

Hi guys, 

I have just started learning coding with mql4 and really need someone to help me and to teach. I am trying to make an indicator that shows a chart of average volatility of an hour of one day of the week fro n-weeks.

So, calculations are following: I take an hour (for an example 1 am on Monday) and find its volatility. Then I do the same for same 1 am but for the Monday from the week before, then for 1 am Monday from 2 weeks before and so on. Then I take an average of volatility  for all 1 am hours for n-weeks.

The current code draws it for all days of a week as one line and I want to learn how to make it to calculate only one specific day of the week and void calculating the others. Hopefully I was clear enough, sorry for my English

Code is following:

#property indicator_separate_window
#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_plots   1 
//--- plot Label1
#property indicator_label1  "Label1"
#property indicator_type1   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_color1  clrBlue 
#property indicator_style1  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width1  2

//--- input parameters
input int      CountBars=1400; 
input int      k=700;
//--- indicator buffers
double         Label1Buffer[];
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         | 
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping 
   SetIndexBuffer(0,Label1Buffer);
   
//---
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              | 
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
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[]) 
  {
      int shift, j, shet;
      datetime barhour, barminute, bardayofweek;
      double Vola; 


//----

//----
j=k; 
while(j>=0)
   {
      shift = CountBars+j;
      bardayofweek = TimeDayOfWeek( Time[j]); 
      barhour = TimeHour( Time[j]);
      barminute = TimeMinute( Time[j]); 
      Vola = High[j] - Low[j]; 
      shet = 1;
         while(shift > j )
            { 
               if( barhour == TimeHour( Time[shift]) && barminute == TimeMinute( Time[shift]) && bardayofweek == TimeDayOfWeek( Time[shift]))  
                  { 
                     Vola = Vola + (High[shift]-Low[shift]); 
                     shet++;
                  }   
               shift--;
            }
     Label1Buffer[j]= (Vola/Point)/shet; 
j--;

   }   
//----
return(0);
}

  4. input int      k=700;

    Don't compute all bars, every tick.
