Hi

I'm hoping someone can help me with these two issues:

1. How do I find Time[0] for 1H timeframe if my indicator is running in 5M timeframe for example?

2. Is there a function that finds whether a particular file exists in a particular directory? Sort of like Dir?

Thank you in advance

Automated Trading Championship: The Reverse of the Medal

It seems unthinkable that nobody before MetaQuotes Software Corp. thought of conducting such a Championship welcomed by all traders. In fact, organizing such an event needs more than just a desire to do it.

Use FileOpen with FILE_READ parameter. If FILE_READ does not combine with FILE_WRITE, the file will be opened only if it already exists.

What I've been doing so far is using FileOpen and if the handle number returns less than 0 then the file doesn't exist. I think you're suggesting a similar solution. It works but it's sloppy because it runs a nice string of error msgs in the debugger.

There is another way. Use Win32API FindFirstFile/FindNextFile.
