I use H4 OPEN price in my EA. I don't want to check every tick and only to check every beginning of 4 hours. How to do that?

Interview with Lingyu Jiang (jianglingyu) My Expert Advisor tries to catch the main trend of a day. It's based on the famous catfx50 strategy. Sometimes it will use Moving Average cross as the signal. The main indicator is StepMA. It will take 0, 1 or 2 trades a day normally, and has a StopLoss as small as 18 pips. If it wins, it makes 20-100 pips. The theory behind this expert is: "Many a pickle makes a muckle". |

if(Volume[0] == 1) { ... do your stuff... } . When that is true, you are at the first tick of a new bar, in the chart timeframe. |

int prevtime = 0; int start() { if(prevtime == Time[0]) return(0); prevtime = Time[0]; // your code here }Try above code |

Then say "I don't like this method at all", and use a Time method, or use both. |

The value of Volume[0] is not a real volume but always a count for ticks in this period. So if Volume[0] == 5 itmenas the 5th tic in actual period. So what do you mean with " .. the volume of first tick doesn't equal to 1? .." |

So what do you mean with " .. the volume of first tick doesn't equal to 1? .." I have thought the Volume is the actual volume, so I have a question of that. Know I understand, thanks. |
