Problem with iMAOnArray

New comment
 

When I place the following code onto the chart why does it usually take 5 minutes to load onto the chart. I know im doing something wrong with buffers and iMAOnArray but cant see what?

#property indicator_buffers 1      

//---- buffers
double VolAVG[];

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
{
   SetIndexBuffer(0,VolAVG);      
   SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_NONE);

   return(0);
} 
  
//+------------------------------------------------------------------
// Start Event Handler                               
//+------------------------------------------------------------------

int start()
{  
   int counted_bars = IndicatorCounted(); 
   if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars+=1;   
   int limit=Bars-counted_bars;          
   if(counted_bars==0) limit-=1; 
                            
    
        for(int i = limit; i >= 1; i--) 
   { 
      //--------------
      // Averaging Volume 
      //--------------
      VolAVG[i] = (double)iVolume(_Symbol,_Period,i);    
                                  
      double AVGVol1 = iMAOnArray(VolAVG,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,i); 
      double AVGVol2 = iMAOnArray(VolAVG,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,i+1);
           
      bool declvol = (AVGVol1 < AVGVol2);      
   }    
    
         
   return(0);
}

  1. Nothing wrong there but you shouldn't expect to see anything. Volume should be in the range 100-30,000 depending on your TF. Non-JPY charts have prices in the range 0.9-15. Your line is nine feet above the top of the chart. Try:
    #property indicator_separate_window
  2. int start(){
    Start using the new Event Handling Functions Event Handling Functions - Functions - Language Basics - MQL4 Reference 

  3.    int counted_bars = IndicatorCounted(); 
   if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars+=1;   
   int limit=Bars-counted_bars;          
   if(counted_bars==0) limit-=1;
    See How to do your lookbacks correctly.
