Arrays

New comment
 

I don't have any code to show. But I'm trying to find a way to put mqlrates into another array.. such as high[] = {rates[].high}; doesn't work...but is there any way to make it work?

I see there's arraycopy or swap.. but I've looking for more examples on those

CopyRates is how it is usually done. if that does not fulfil your needs, then describe your desired result? Here's some practical examples on codebase.

This one is using CopyRates...https://www.mql5.com/en/code/26316

This one uses SymbolInfo...https://www.mql5.com/en/code/26330

Bars and Rates Information Utility, displays how many bars there are in all timeframes for any user selected symbol, and shows the 'CopyRates' information availablity for any bar

This utility is not a trading or market information utility. This will likely only interest those writing (or debugging) indicators using multiple timeframes and collecting information using Bars (or iBars) and CopyRates. The utility creates a list showing the number of Bars reported by the "Bars" function and shows the success of CopyRates for any selected bar by displaying that bar's time from the collected data (or, it shows the error).

Or CopyHigh() if you just want high[].

  1. Do you really expect an answer? There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked. Always post all relevant code (using Code button) or attach the file.

  2. “Doesn't work” is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.

  3. You have to copy each element., of course high[] = … "does not work" it doesn't even compile.

To be fair it seems pretty obvious that the user doesn't know about CopyRates yet and therefore we can not expect to get a better problem description because the lack of basic knowledge is the main problem here.

That being said OP should use the search function for "CopyRates" in documentation.
