Thread: How to pick specific 5M candle from higher TF

Hello men

I am searching for best code for choosing specific 5M candle from higher TF.
What I mean is that.
For example I know that candle 2 on 30M chart has cheapest price of previous X-30Min candles... Is there some function I can use for select (select ) from the 30M candle which specific 5M candle that has this cheapest price? Because with this 30M candle there are just 6 x5M candles and just one has that cheapest price.

THX

Thx Gumrai
I was thinking to use exact information window but difficulty is if I know openclose period of that 30M how I pick Lowest 5M candle for only this period window? I will only use something like this??? :
iLowest(NULL, 5, MODE_LOW, CloseTime, OpenTime)

Not tested in anyhow, but this may give you a beginning point to do everything you want
Inserted Code int I; //Shift of bar in the higher timeframe datetime opencandle = Time; datetime closecandle = opencandle (Period()*60)-1; int shiftM5first = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M5,opencandle,false); int shiftM5last = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M5,closecandle,false); int M5lowestshift = iLowest(NULL,PERIOD_M5,MODE_LOW,shiftM5first-shiftM5last 1,shiftM5last);
Edit: appears to be a problem with posting the code. At the second line of the above code, it must be Time,open sg bracket,I,shut sq bracket

if you know it is the lowest of the last X 30m bars then it is also the lowest of the last X*6 5m bars so only select the lowest 5m bar of the last Xwhich is easily done.

Int TheBar = iLowest(NULL,PERIOD_M5,MODE_LOW,x,0);

where x = number of bars to search ie X*6

I've attempted a lot of times to edit my previous article.
The 2nd line of code ought to be
datetime opencandle = Time;
but it simply shows as Time without the for a certain reason.

WTF!! It doesn't show in this informative article
it's square brackets with the I integer

thx Gumrai.
In this line
datetime closecandle = opencandle (Period()*60)-1;
Why did you add also that -1?

Because without that it would then be the period of the next opened candle on the greater time-frame.

understand

thx Gurmai I'm testing that code today
that I will inform you how it works for me

Hi Gumrai

Your Thought is working but I've one Q. I added Vline to see precisely that candle on Lower TF is that particular (because I am watching chart on Upper TF) but it is not working properly. Alert however no Vline was received by me. Once I switch from Upper TF to reduce TF and again back to Upper TF afterward indi will plot online.
Can you tell me what can be incorrect from tha Line code?
.
.
Datetime opencandle = iTime(NULL, 30, 2);
datetime closecandle = opencandle (Stage ()*60)-1;
int shiftM5first = iBarShift(NULL,5,opencandle,false);
int shiftM5last = iBarShift(NULL,5,closecandle,false);
int M5HighestPriceShift = iHighest(NULL,5,MODE_HIGH,shiftM5first-shiftM5last,shiftM5last);
int M5HighestVolumeShift = iHighest(NULL,5,MODE_VOLUME,shiftM5first-shiftM5last,shiftM5last);
ObjectCreate(Line Timing [1], OBJ_VLINE, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
ObjectSet(Line Timing [1], OBJPROP_COLOR, Gold);
ObjectSet(Line Timing [1], OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet(Line Timing [1], OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1);
ObjectSet(Line Timing [1], OBJPROP_TIME1, iTime(NULL, 5, M5HighestPriceShift));
ObjectSet(Line Timing [1], OBJPROP_BACK, true);
Alert(Symbol() Stage () M Candle Amount with Maximum price x= M5HighestPriceShift Volume candle v= M5HighestVolumeShift);

It's possible that the M5 values are upgrading, one of the issues with retrieving information from a different interval.
It may be an idea to test that M5Highestshift! = 0
When it does and you aren't running this code in an indior, then sleep for 2000ms then begin again
Once you alter tf to M5 and back, the terminal gets time to fully upgrade M5 data.

Note:
Inserted Code int M5HighestPriceShift = iHighest(NULL,5,MODE_HIGH,shiftM5fi rst-shiftM5last,shiftM5last); you now have an area in first and you also missed the 1


Inserted Code int M5HighestPriceShift = iHighest(NULL,5,MODE_HIGH,shiftM5first-shiftM5last,shiftM5last 1);

It might also be an idea to bring a condition as this might do strange things if attached to the M5 or M1chart.

Inserted Code if(Period() gt; PERIOD_M5) //insert code
