You are correct, I had exchanged the variables for standard deviation and bands shift.
Thanks for your hawks eye. Problem is solved.

I am using the function iBands in an EA to evaluate whether the 3 Bollinger Bands are rising. Herefore I look at the last closed bar and the one before last closed bar on a 1 hour chart.
For the Middle Band, Upper Band and Lower Band I get correct values in the EA when I compare with the Data Window on my screen, but with 1 exception wich is the value for the Upper Band of the last (most recent) closed bar.
I am using the following syntax to get the value of the Upper Band of the last closed bar: where 20 is the period for the middle band, 0 is the band shift and 0.382 is the factor for the standard deviation that I use.
Upper_Band_1 = iBands(NULL,0,20,0,0.382,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,1);
The syntax that I use for the other Bands and the second closed bar is simular.
When I use the function iCustum(.......) in combination with the Bands function I also get the wrong value for the Uppe rBand of the last closed bar.
My Questions:
1: Can anyone reproduce this error?
2: Has anyone a solution?
2: How to proceed in order to solve this problem?
