Hi Dean,
your algorithm should look like this for the highs:
- store the current highest high (at beginning of day, high of first bar)
- compare high of new candle with current highest high (https://docs.mql4.com/series/ihigh)
- if it is higher, memorize price and datetime, store new value for current highest high
- and so on until end of day
Hope this was of help. Have a nice Weekend!
Use:
iHigh(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 0);
and
iLow(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 0);
Store them to variables and compare the current to the stored to update / record what you want .

Thank you for your reply. I did some digging and got this:
int High=iHighest(Symbol(),Period(),MODE_HIGH,WindowFirstVisibleBar()-1,1);
And modified it to get the high price:
double DailyHigh=High[iHighest(Symbol(),Period(),MODE_HIGH,WindowFirstVisibleBar()-1,1)];
Then used this to store the time:
datetime DailyHighTime=Time[High];
However, how do I compare the current high price and time to those and store them?

I see your request was meant for daily charts, at first misunderstood you wanted to analyze smaller timeframes for every single day. Try this for comparation & update:
if (High[0]>DailyHigh) { DailyHigh=High[0]; DailyHighTime=Time[0]; }

Hey guys,
I am in need of assistance please. What I would like to do is every time price creates a new high or low for the day I want to be able to save the price and the time somehow (perhaps in the global scope) to use it as a reference point? Would anyone know how to do this?
