ArraySetAsSeries meaning

[billysballo]

Hi,

What does ArraySetAsSeries?

I read the documentation but i have not grasped full its potential.

Sometimes buffers in indicators work only when transforming them e.g ArraySetAsSeries(myBuffer,false)

What does it do?

Say you have an indicator with 4051 values (or bars) showing.

When you reference the rightmost bar: is it bar 0, or is it bar 4051?

ArraySetAsSeries() lets you choose.

hi @Anthony,

so, when you set it to false, the most recent one (the rightmost bar) is 0. correct?

Best way to know is to look at the indexes and see for yourself.

The code should compile on MT4 as well. Just change the extension.

thanks Anthony.

 i downloaded the code but it returns something like this:

Is it normal?

Zoom in . . . hover over one of the green bars.

The answer to your previous question:

0 is on the right when true.

Bars() is on the right when false.

Hello gurus,

i'm trying to capture the previous 3rd bar value of the Bollinger Band middle line for Nasdaq100 (price range in the +1600s now) .

I"m flabergasted at why this value jumps wildly from around 16392.59 to arond 96.099 and back at every tick.

My code is shown below and appreciate if anyone can point out where i went wrong and why!

Thank you in advance!

Mistake # 1: the MQL5 style implies that the indicator handle is created ONCE and must be done in OnInit. I saw this gross error and I did not look further at the code.

Correct this gross mistake.
