Identify the 2nd last minute candle from the previous day?

New comment
 

Hello MQL Community,

I am trying to identify the second last M1 candle from the previous day.

I am currently using a simple:

YesterdayClosePrice = iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 1);

I've found different brokers have wildly different close prices, I would like to reference the 2nd last or 5th last minute of the previous day.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? :)

Thank in advanced

If you want minute bar information it is no good using the daily period use the minute period

As you won't know the index number fo the bar you should use copyrates insted of iClose  then you can specify the time period that you require

  1. Get the time
  2. Get the time of the beginning of the day.

  3. Get the M1 shift for BOD
  4. One more is the Last M1 of the previous trading day.

  5. On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

    The function linked to, opens a hidden chart for the symbol/TF in question (if not already open), thus updating history, and temporarily placing the symbol on Market Watch (if not already there), so SymbolInfoDouble(symbol, SYMBOL_BID) or MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_BID) don't also return zero on the first call.

    On MT5: Unless the current chart is that specific pair/TF, you must synchronize the terminal Data from the Server before accessing candle/indicator values.
