Get Last Candlestick Info on MetaTrader5 and PYMT5ADAPTER python libraries

[ultrachihuahua]

Hi,

I am a seasoned python programmer but a novice in all things FOREX and MT5.  

I am trying to create a program to log the last closing position in an array for the purpose of creating an SMA and EMA indicator.

How can I access the last "CANDLESTICK" data that just immediately occurred (within seconds) and be able to see the CLOSING, HIGH and LOW using the python 'MetaTrader5' library?

NOTE:

If someone knows the answer as to how to do this on PYMT5ADAPTER library as well i would thank you for your response as I may be transitioning to this library.

Best Regards,

Hey guys, Thanks but i found my answer in the following

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5/mt5copyratesfrompos_py

as such here is the line of code needed for the last candle position

mt5.copy_rates_from_pos(symbol_str, mt5.TIMEFRAME_M1, 0, 1)
