The Result shouldn't be the same ?

New comment
 

Hi,i'm trying to modify an Indicator "Heiken Ashi" to return me the values in which timeframe i want,for test i'm using PERIOD_CURRENT.


Inside Calculation,i have :

  •  Print("ILOW["+i+"]="+Low[i]);
  •      Print("iLow("+i+")="+iLow(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,i));



double iLow(string strSymbol,ENUM_TIMEFRAMES tf,int nShift)

{

   double timeseries[1];

   if(CopyLow(strSymbol,tf,nShift,1,timeseries)==1) return(timeseries[0]);

   else return(-1.0);

}


But i'm getting 2 different Values.


Thanks !

  
CopyLow(..

Return Value

Returns the copied data count or -1 in case of an error.

Hi,thanks for the support !

I'm not receiving any error.


The value from OnCalculate Low[] is for example : 1.233432,using iLow,returns 1.233789

i don't know why this difference of prices,but the result is not the same !

I didn't see how does the low function work because is not attached here however I think if you are using the same time frame as in iLow function and also using the same index  so the priblem could be in Array access methof . You can try to declare the time serious arraybas a dynamic Array and followed by ArraySetAsSeriiud = true

Hi,thanks for the fast response !
I tried it too.

Can you help me to identify the mistake ? Here is the code of the indicator,i'm printing the data inside main loop

 

i solved it puting it instead of that function:

  double valor_low[];
     CopyLow(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,0,rates_total,valor_low);
