Plotting SMA indicator on chart

[Matthew Allbee]

For my first indicator, I'm simply trying to plot the SMA indicator on a chart. I can get the code to compile and it loads when I click "Start on Real Data," but nothing actually shows on the chart. What is going wrong here?

   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);

  int Start() {

   i = Bars - countedBars - 1;

   while (i>=1)

      { 

      SMA200[i] = iMA(Symbol(), 0, smaPeriod, 0, 0, 0, 0);

      i--;

      }

  return 0;

Thanks to anyone that can help.

2. int Start() {
      int i; //Used to keep track of place in SMA200 array
   :
   }
   void OnTick(){

   }
   int OnCalculate (const int rates_total,      // size of input time series
      :

   Perhaps you should read the manual. Especially Event Handling Functions - Functions - Language Basics - MQL4 Reference Old type: int start(), New type: OnCalculate().  There is no Start(), and indicators have no OnTick().
   

3. SMA200[i] = iMA(Symbol(), 0, smaPeriod, 0, 0, 0, 0);

   Why are you setting every bar with the same value?
4. Do your lookbacks correctly.
