All I need is to have the Values from the Comment(...); on my screen/chart.
First, you're trying to peek into the future, that's not going to work, or at least not that easily;
Second, you'll also need to avoid going out of range at the start, along the lines of:
if(i>2){ Comment("Upper Band 2 periods ago", ExtTLBuffer[i-2]); }
Sheesh... What can I say, this works wonderful !!!!!
THANKS! :))))

Hi guys, this time I need the bollinger bands indicator for mt5 to show the the actual value, previous value and the value before previous on the chart. When I compile this code it's showing the typical Bollinger Bands indicator, but, when I write down the last 3 values of bollinger bands I get array out of range error and the indicator doesn't plot like it should, and for a reason I don't get why...
Here's the code, if you can help me big thanks !!
Best Regards,
Dieter Daniel
