-----------------------

The historical forex data is stored in arrays. The length of these arrays is Bars.

The last (newest bar) is the rightmost bar.
The first (oldest) bar is the leftmost bar.

DateTime[] Date; // The date and time of bar opening
double[] Open;   // Bar opening price
double[] High;   // Bar highest price
double[] Low;    // Bar lowest price
double[] Close;  // Bar closing price
int[] Volume;    // Tick volume during the bar

Application:

1. First bar opening price:

double dOpenPrice = Open[0];

2. Last (newest) bar closing price:

double dClosePrice = Close[Bars - 1];

3. Momentum oscillator

int iPeriod = 10; // Period of Momentum
double[] adMomentum = new double[Bars]; // An array to store Momentum

for(int iBar = iPeriod; iBar < Bars; iBar++)
{
    adMomentum[iBar] = Close[iBar] - Close[iBar - 1];
}

----------------------------

int Digits

It shows the number of digits after the decimal point of the historical data.


Examples:

For EURUSD 1.3245 Digits = 4
For USDJPY 103.22 Digits = 2

Point = Math.Pow(10, -Digits);

----------------------------

double Point

A Point represents the smallest price change that a given exchange rate can make.


Examples:

For EURUSD 1.3245 one point is 0.0001
For USDJPY 103.22 one point is 0.01

-------------------------

DataPeriods Period

It gets the time frame of the currently loaded instrument.
The value of each period is equal to its duration in minutes.

public enum DataPeriods
{
    min1  = 1,
    min5  = 5,
    min15 = 15,
    min30 = 30,
    hour1 = 60,
    hour4 = 240,
    day   = 1440,
    week  = 10080
}

Application:
-------------------------

1. Setting a variable to DataPeriods

DataPeriods myPeriod = DataPeriods.min5;

Result: myPeriod is 5 minutes


2. Checking if a given chart is a daily chart:

if(Period == DataPeriods.day)
{
  // This is daily chart
}
else
{
  // This is not a daily chart
}

3. Converting DataPeriods to minutes

int iMinutes = (int)DataPeriod.day;

Result: iMinutes = 1440


4. Converting minutes to DataPeriods

DataPeriods myPeriod = (DataPeriods)60;

Result: myPeriod = DataPeriods.hour1
