daily data

[plucky]

Hi all,

I am working on a formula and I want to load the daily highs & lows for the last 300 days (minimum) into an array no matter what time frame my chart is. So I wrote a code similar to the one below:

for (i=1; i<=299;i++) DailyHigh[i]=high(-i,getSymbol()+",D");

My problem is if I did not load a Daily chart before (with at least 300 bars), or there are not 300 bars on the daily chart, the code stops at the above line and I can not go on further.

I tried to put some checks like
if (high(-i,getSymbol(),",D) ==null) {skip this step etc.}

but they did not work.

Any help on this?

Thank you all in advance,

[ACM]

Make sure that the Time Template is set to load the number of days you are requesting for that interval.
To do this create a User Defined interval D and set it to load the # Days you want.

thank you Alexis for your reply,

But is it not possible to do it without using the time templates?

I just want to skip that part if the number of daily bars I can retrieve is less than 300.

thanks

One way I can see to do this would be to check how many bars you have loaded for the symbol/interval using getOldestBarIndex(getSymbol()+",D") and then execute the code you want only if there is sufficient data.
