Yesterday High/Low/Close

New comment
 

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to find out if there is such a variable that I can call to find the previous day high/low/close.

I cant seem to find it, my guess is there is one, but it seems to be avoiding me.

Thanks

Variable ? yes if you are on a D1 chart, High[1], Low[1], Close[1] if you are not on a D1 chart then you will need to use a function call, read up on this group of functions, TimeSeries Functions
 

Hey Guys

Sorry for the late reply - I only do this really part-time.

I want a way to call the high of the previous day, no matter what time-frame I am on (obviously D1, 4Hr, 1Hr etc. and less).

Just going on the day that MT4 runs on. I am in NZ, and the day rolls over around 1pm my time (give-or-take) dependant on daylight savings.
Is there a function that does this? I have looked extensively and cant seem to find anything. The times series functions, from what I can tell rely on counting a specific number of bars.

I have this indicator (which I have attached) that paints lines showing the highs/lows of the previous days. I need a way to call these high/lows.

I do apologize for my ignorance when it comes to this issue, but as I said I am really really part-time at this.

Thanks for your time,

Mike

Hey Guys, thanks for your help so far, but I still seem to be having problems. I cannot seem to get a value for the previous days high/low. I simply want to run off what the MT4 day is, even if it is 11 hours different to my time, I'm not worried at the moment.
I have tried a lot of the Time Series Functions, but have not been able to get them to work. From what I can tell, they all rely on counting a certain number of bars back, which is going to be different dependant on what time frame the chart is in, and the current time of the day.

I basically want a way to call the previous days high/low, no matter the chart I am on (<D1).

Any other advice you can give me? This just seems to have me stumped, when I feel it should be rather simple.

Thanks.

Did you look at the TimeSeries Functions ? iHigh() iLow() ?
 
Hi
Yea, I had a look, but from what I can tell, they all require me to count a specific number of bars back, when it would be a different number of bars that I count dependant on time of day and time-frame on the chart. There is something I am not getting I think?!?

Yes. 

iHigh(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 1);  // yesterday's high

iLow(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 1);  // yesterday's low
 
Awesome, thats works awesome. Thought I was missing something.....

What price does this work off, bid or ask??
