[Abubakar Abu Saidu]

Hello.. good day to you all..

i tried some other ways but am not getting it right at all...

is there another method to simply use candles interval instead of Timeframe!!

eg.. Using 24Candles instead of using H4 or D1 to calculate.. 

here is a screenshot using D1

Why?

But anyways, you can query data of other Timeframes using

iOpen(), iClose () and so on.

Or use CopyRates()

Hi.. thanks for your reply..

i dont mean timeframe..what  i mean is candles..

drawing Hlines at the highest or lowest of certain candles

eg.. the highest and lowest between 24 candles!!

So you are looking for ArrayMaximum() and ArrayMinimum ()

`Hi.. thanks a lot for your feedback.. unfortunately.. ArrayMaximum() and ArrayMinimum () does not do it

but i managed to figured it out myself.. thanks a lot for your kind response and helpful links!! i really appreciate!!

            
             int Candles=20,Shift=1;
             double h_C= High[iHighest(_Symbol, PERIOD_CURRENT, MODE_HIGH, Candles, Shift)];
             double l_C= Low[iLowest(_Symbol, PERIOD_CURRENT, MODE_LOW, Candles, Shift)];
