Good afternoon, I'm trying to count the volume of bullish and bearish minute candles in an hour:

if (iTime(NULL,60,1)!=TS)
{
int TotalBars = 59; // Total number of candlesticks to search
int Vupbars;
int Vdnbars;
int V=iVolume(NULL,IndPeriod,1);
for(int p=0; p<TotalBars; p++)
{
if(Close[1]>Open[1]) Vupbars=Vupbars+iVolume(NULL,0,1); else
if(Close[1]<Open[1]) Vdnbars=Vdnbars+iVolume(NULL,0,1);
}
}
TS=iTime(NULL,60,1);

What's wrong, why doesn't it work ?

all the time examining the first candle
 

if(iTime(NULL,60,1)!=TS)
{
int TotalBars = 59; // Total number of candlesticks to search
int Vupbars;
int Vdnbars;
int V=iVolume(NULL,60,1);
for(int p=0; p<TotalBars; p++)
{
if(Close[p]>Open[p]) Vupbars=Vupbars+iVolume(NULL,0,p); else
if(Close[p]<Open[p]) Vdnbars=Vdnbars+iVolume(NULL,0,p);
}
}
TS=iTime(NULL,60,1);

this works, but the values of Vupbars and Vdnbars blink and reset -- this one I removed, the second one not yet ?

and also their sum is not equal to V why ?

because you are comparing the volume of the 59 last minute candles (including the one that just started) to the last closed hour candle

 

No, the numbers don't match by an order of magnitude.

For example, the watch has a volume of 40.

the sum of the minutes is 320

Something like this, in my mind


Nope, it doesn't work like that, they're never equal. And in fact, for some reason I have a visual signal one that is clearly lower than the main one, for example, but the values say otherwise. I don't get it, what's the trick?

No, the numbers don't match us by an order of magnitude.

Are you throwing the indicator on the M1?

Give full code and use the SRC button when inserting

Stells:


this is an EA

on m1

in any case, give a bit more code - for example where Vupbars and Vdnbars are used that you find out that they are zeroed

and it would also be desirable to zero them before the cycle:

int Vupbars = 0;
int Vdnbars = 0;

 

I have done so:

int Vupbars; - this is put in the volumetric variables
int Vdnbars; - this is put in the volumetric variables

int V=iVolume(NULL,60,1);

if(iTime(NULL,60,1)!=TS)
{
int TotalBars = 61; // Total number of candlesticks to search for
Vupbars=0;
Vdnbars=0;

for(int p=1; p<TotalBars; p++)
{
if(Close[p]>Open[p]) Vupbars=Vupbars+iVolume(NULL,0,p); else
if(Close[p]<Open[p]) Vdnbars=Vdnbars+iVolume(NULL,0,p);
}
}
TS=iTime(NULL,60,1);
