Indicator sudenly plots arrows all over the chart, It occurs more frecuently in M1

[boettigerr]

Hi, please your help with this:

My indicators suddenly starts to plot the arrow marks all over the chart. The indicator fails more often in M1 timeframe, but it also happens in higher timeframes if i let it run long enough.

If i reset the indicator or recompile it, it re-deploys itself and all seems fine again.

I do not experience this with the indicators that MT4 has as standard, for example fractals, so i assume is my code.

Attached you can see an image of the indicator when it fails and after i reset it. I'm also attaching the code of the indicator.

Thank you very much!

1.       int max = rates_total - prev_calculated - lookback;

   After the first run max is always negative, nothing happens.
   

   Do your lookbacks correctly #9 — #14 & #19

   
   

2.    if(tipo == "ST")
         STBuffer[index]=price;
      else
         HMBuffer[index]=price;

   You never initialize them to EMPTY_VALUE.
