MT4 : iHigh(0,0,1) = 0 since Update to MetaEditorBuild 914 and Indicators are not shown after a system Test

New comment
 

Hi,


please, beginner needs some help:

after having updated MT4 to MetaEditor Build 914, all functions like iHigh(0,0,1), iClose.... have the value 0.

i.e. : Highbar1 = iHigh(0,0,1); ---> HighBar1 = 0 ---> Error is 4054 (Displayed Chart is EUR/USD, H1)

(Before updating, these function were displayed in green Color, now its the same color like a maths-function.)

High[1] works.

And Indicators are not shown in the visual window after a system Test

What maybe the problem ?

Please, give me some understanding.


Thanks

Mark

  
iHigh(0,0,1)
I think that you will find that 0 is not valid, use Symbol() or NULL for current symbol

2.3. Use of 0 instead of NULL for the current character

In the old version of the compiler 0 (zero) could be used as an argument in functions that require specification of a financial instrument.

For example, the value of the Moving Average technical indicator for the current symbol could be requested as follows:

AlligatorJawsBuffer[i]=iMA(0,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);    // incorrect

In the new compiler you should explicitly specify NULL to specify the current symbol:

AlligatorJawsBuffer[i]=iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i); // correct

In addition, the current symbol and chart period can be specified using the Symbol() and Period() functions.

AlligatorJawsBuffer[i]=iMA(Symbol(),Period(),13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i); // correct

100 times paste :-)

everything works again, thank you very much, GumRai
