ArrayResize(dHighs,Bars); ArrayResize(dLows,Bars); : if (Close[i] > dHighs[i]) iTrend = 1;
Those two must be buffers not arrays. Resizing arrays will not shift existing values, but the if statement assumes they are.- Do not use separate a variable (iTrend.) After the first run, you must retrieve the trend for index one to be used on index 0. Either process bar zero never or only once.
int limit = Bars - counted_bars; for (int i = 0; i <=limit-1; i++) : dHighs[i] = iMA(NULL, 0, Period_HiLo, 0, MODE_SMA, PRICE_HIGH, i);
The look back length for MA is Period_HiLo. The look back length for trend is that plus 1. Do your lookbacks correctly.- Help you with what? You haven't stated a problem.
