indicator source code 

https://www.mql5.com/en/code/viewcode/1118/128860/parabolic_htf.mq5

Same EA use SAR to tailing

After I make question ,I try to transfer the original EA to simply it ( (It take time to reduce some  ,but still lots >,< ). Now this EA use one indicator to open new position.

Attach file

full EA in Check2.zip (SAR) ,
you can use SAR_MTF_1.ex5 to verify result directly
part of initial Initial_SAR.mqh

For your ref.

The more detail test result is using same time frame as test time frame will have no issue, issue will happen as different time frame.
And some relative and not this issue test has done that MTF indicator get accuracy issue in different PC need to verify >.<

Where do I find: CIndicator::GetData?

Check the declaration/definition/ArraySize of the related buffer - use for example the dubugger.

GetData error  code 4806


The error case is run :  without visual mode.

Compare get data :  with visual mode 


Get problem with use debugger.    I don't know how to debug in without visual mode (With Print only ? ) 

As debugger mode --It's with visual mode . I add some an message in function to show where update data get all data empty .
