Time[0]

 

Good morning everyone.

I need to know what is the function "Time[0]" in MQL4 and what it do.

Can someone please help me?

 
It is the opening time of the current bar in the chart time-frame.

If I modify it in "Time[1]" what will change? Can you please make an example with timeframe H1?

I thing the word SEARCH can assist you here very much 

even if u open your metaEditor and type iTime then press F1 you will be answered to satisfaction. 

I also had that very same question a year ago, however metaeditor inbuilt reference answered it for me

  1. Perhaps you should read the manual. Open - Predefined Variables - MQL4 Reference.
  2. If the chart is timeframe H1, the example is in the manual. Otherwise, it's not possible — read the "See also."

On "See also" I read the iTime function, but not "Time[0]"

Hi,

Keith has answered it.

The sequence of bar numbers, read as a series from right to left,
-- starts from 0 on the bar (candle) that is currently moving.

Visually it can be seen like this:

You will get time value on 2nd bar (seen from the right) that have sequence number 1.
