Hi,
I made an indicator that shows signals based on volume; if the volume is higher than previous buy/sell as an example.
I run into out of range error with this code
int limit = MathMax(rates_total - prev_calculated,2);
for(int i=1;i<(limit);i++)
{
if (tick_volume[i]>tick_volume[i+1]) // **Out of range code points to this line**
{
//do code
}
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
return(rates_total);
}
When prev_calculated is 0, if i is limit-1 (last iteration), i+1 is equal to rates_total. Maximum index for tick_volume is rates_total-1.
Adjust your loop to avoid it.

Alain thank you for replying!
To make sure I understand correctly, my loop should not run if i+1 == rate_total?
int limit = MathMax(rates_total - prev_calculated,2);
for(int i=1;(i+1!=limit);i++)
{
...
}
Also, does this error basically happen when there are no new volume ticks - tick_volume[i+1] == EMPTY because sometimes it'll work and then give an error when I change timeframe for example?
Still can't understand as Open[i+1] would not give any error and they both represent the same candle?
After thinking a little bit more, I'm guessing the solution would look something like this;
if (tick_volume[i+1] == EMPTY){
//do not run
}
I would like some answers to the 2 questions above.

You don't understand the problem.
1. tick_volume is an array
2. An array has a size (a number of items). (rates_total items for tick_volume).
3. Each item is identified by an index.
4. First item index is 0, last is size-1. (so for tick_volume between 0 and rates_total-1).
5. When using i+1 as index, if i is greater or equal to rates_total-1, so i+1 greater or equal to rates_total, you have a "out of range" error.
6. So you must be sure i is always lower than rates_total-1.
WHRoeder posted a link with practical example. Please also search about this error if it's still not clear.
Once you understand the problem, it's easy to fix.

Hi,
I made a very simple mt4 indicator that shows signals based on volume; if the volume is higher than previous buy/sell as an example.
I run into array out of range error with this code
int limit = MathMax(rates_total - prev_calculated,2);
for(int i=1;i<(limit);i++)
{
if (tick_volume[i]>tick_volume[i+1]) // **Out of range code points to this line**
{
//do code
}
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
return(rates_total);
}
