Relative performance.

New comment
 

Hi Guys,


Hope you're all well. :)


I am having a problem with the coding for the relative performance between Oil and Gold.

When I just have "GOLD" in the ExtMapBuffer1[i], it shows the Daily price of Gold.

When I just have "OIL" in the ExtMapBuffer1[i], it shows the Daily price of Oil.

But when I put "GOLD / OIL", it doesn't give any value at all.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Thank you.

int start()
  {
   int    counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
//----
   int limit = Bars-counted_bars-1;
 
   for (int i=limit; i >= 0; i--) 
   {

      
      // Binary Signal:
     
      double OIL = iClose("UKOil.v",PERIOD_D1,i);
      double GOLD = iClose("XAUUSD.v",PERIOD_D1,i);
      
      ExtMapBuffer1[i] = GOLD / OIL;
      }
  
//----
   return(0);
  }
  
  1.    int    counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

    Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?

    Next time, post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

  2. int start()

    You should stop using the old event handlers (init, start, deinit) and IndicatorCounted() and start using new event handlers (OnInit, OnTick/OnCalculate, OnDeinit).

    Of course, it does. That will be a value near unity and off bottom of the chart. Make it a separate chart. Program Properties (#property) - Preprocessor - Language Basics - MQL4 Reference


 

Hi William,
