There is mistake in the documentation. Instead of MODE_CLOSE You should use MODE_LOWER
or MODE_UPPER depending from band

I'm attempting to calculate bollinger bands based on a ratio of EURUSD/USDCHF.
I have figured out how to make the indicator show the ratio, i'm now trying to make it calculate the bollinger bands on the ratio.
The RED LINE with ibandsonarray at the end of this code is supposed to give me the upper, lower and the mean values.
For some reason i'm not getting the upper,lower,mean values.
Basically what i'm doing is storing the ratio into an ARRAY and applying ibandsonarray to the ARRAY to determine the bollinger bands values. The values come out to be zero. What I'm I doing wrong?
How do I use the ibandsonarray to determine the upper,lower,mean of the stored array?
