will the value be differents every new bar?

iHighest - it is a number of the bar with Highest price
High - the high price of this bar

Base from my example, what is the different between the 2?

As explained above iHighest will return the shift of the bar with the highest value and High will tell you the actual high value of a bar.

So if the current bar is shift 0 and you ask the iHighest of say the last 13 bars the result may be, for example 9, meaning the 10th bar back had the highest value. Now if you wanted to actually know what the value was you'd need to use the High function.

Good luck

Hi Everyone,

Can someone please advise me how to programatically find the total number of long positions open and the total number of short postions open in MT4? I do not want the total number of all positions open together. My requirement is that I keep the same number of short and long positions open at the same time. eg:

Lets say I have a user-defined number of trades which are open concurrently, with an equal number of long and short positions. Some short and long positions close. I need to reopen an equal amount of short and long positions up to the user-defined limit.

Thanks in advance

Anyone write a routine to determine the number of bars since an order opened?

My indicator does not work properly, the indicator works fine on screen but when I try to use in an EA and let it Alert(iCustom(....)); it gives an enormous value.

TSD = iCustom(NULL,0,"Pascal_Indicator1",0,0);
Alert(TSD); // gives 214723948223...

The indicator 's code is :

Code:

int start()
  {
   int    counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   if(counted_bars <= 0) return(0);

   int i = counted_bars;
   while(i >= 0){
      if(i > 0){
         ExtMapBuffer1[i] = calculateData();
      }
      i--;
   }
   return(0);
  }

I must be doing something dramatically wrong

Pascal.
