[CopyBuffer] Requested data not found ERR 4806

New comment
 

Good afternoon,

I am having trouble copying information from one buffer to an EA, having a recurrent 4806 error, which stands for requested data not found. The value on the buffer is correctly assigned during the indicator execution, however I don't seem to be able to read it from the EA. The handle is created without problems, but the copybuffer function call only seems to read data fromvisible buffers. The buffer number I am trying to read is buffer 4. Buffer 0, 1, 2 and 3 are readable. Only buffer 4 and above fails to be read. The following is the code. Could you be kind enough enlighten me about which my dumb mistake is? Thanks!

If this indicator isn't used for drawing you have to declare it as INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS.

data_type

[in] Type of data stored in the indicator array. By default it is INDICATOR_DATA (values of the calculated indicator). It may also take the value of INDICATOR_COLOR_INDEX; in this case this buffer is used for storing color indexes for the previous indicator buffer. You can specify up to 64 colors in the #property indicator_colorN line. The INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS value means that the buffer is used in intermediate calculations of the indicator and is not intended for drawing.
