Custom Indicator net set the arrows for new bars

New comment
 

Hi

I was build a Custom Indicator which set buy and sell arrows on the chart with alerts and it was works fine, but when I tried to upgrade the code to MQL4 new build stile with OnCalculate() function the indicator set the arrows to previous bars only in start but not for new bars after it works and don't send alert.

Can any body help me in this


Regards ...    

 
Not without seeing the code.
  
#property indicator_chart_window
#property indicator_buffers 2
#property indicator_color1 Blue
#property indicator_color2 Red

double BuyBuffer[];
double SellBuffer[];

double SMA, SMAAlert;
double HAOpen, HAClose, HAOpen2, HAClose2;
double HAOpena, HAClosea, HAOpen2a, HAClose2a;
datetime AlertTime;

forexstar:
  limit = rates_total-prev_calculated;      
   for (i = 0; i < limit; i++)

The first time prev_calculated == 0 so it processes all bars.

Until a new bar they will be equal and you do nothing.

limit=rates_total-prev_calculated;
if(prev_calculated>0) limit++; // Reprocess last bar.
 

thanks your reply but not worked

  
   limit = rates_total-prev_calculated;      
   for (i = 0; i < limit; i++)
   {
      BuyBuffer[i+1]=0;
      SellBuffer[i+1]=0

when prev_calculated==0

limit=rates_total which is the number of bars on the chart, so limit-1 is the highest index position for the buffers

when i==limit-1,i+1 will give an array out of range error.


The only values assigned to the buffers is zero, in the code that you show, how do you expect it to do anything?

This is my previous code and it was works fine, can you please show me how to convert it to new code style in the right way

I don't see how your previous indicator works fine. I refer you to my earlier reply

show me how to write the right loop

How can I?

I have no idea what you are trying to do.
