"to_copy" method does not work when copying buffer of an "Technical Indicator"

 
I am trying to make an ADXR indicator and I am using the "to_copy" method from the examples folder but it does not work correctly in my code.

I think that this method (in this way) does not work with "Technical Indicators". I think so... because I have checked all the code several times.

A little help please?

Thank you very much !!
The code below
#property indicator_separate_window
#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_plots   1
//--- plot signal
#property indicator_label1  "Signal"
#property indicator_type1   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_color1  clrRed
#property indicator_style1  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width1  1
//--- input parameters
input int adxPeriod = 14;
input int period = 14;
//--- buffers
double    signal[];
double    adxData[];
