Candle Shift ID for friday

[adz_b]

Hi,
my EA needs to know the daily low of the friday candle but if you use the shift ID 1 on the daily setting it does not recognise friday as the previous candle??? Can anyone help, thanks.

Interesting question, and I have no good idea how to make it easily on the EA builder. As a code, I imagine having a loop to find the candle from the last friday, try this for example:

int OnInit()
{
	int shift = 0;
	while (true)
	{
		datetime time = iTime(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, shift);
		shift++;
		if (TimeDayOfWeek(time) == 5) {
			break;
		}
	}
	
	Comment(shift);
}

Thanks very much for your reply I will try this and let you know if it works. Much appreciated!

I'm not sure where best to place this in the code for it to work.
