Alexey Viktorov:

Maybe the skis are bad?


And then there's the RTS-6.21.


This is something else. What broker do you have and what version of MT5.

 
Alexey Viktorov:

And also RTS-6.21.


Thanks for the help. Figured it out. Connected different versions of indicators from different folders.

 
Francuz:

Yes, I did. The result has not changed.

I don't believe it.

I figured it out. The problem was that two different ATR files from different folders were connected. That's why there was a discrepancy in values.

Thank you for your help.

Nikolai, he had a different problem. I didn't immediately understand the issue either, thought I needed to get values from a different TF. Lubricated the skis and everything went right.
 
Alexey Viktorov:
Nikolay, he had a different problem. I didn't understand the question at first either, I thought I needed to get the values from another TF. I oiled the skis and everything went well.

Strange, didn't understand anything.
I reproduced his problem in mine exactly as he described.
It happened exactly because the only execution of CopyBuffer took place at first run in OnCalculate, when prev_calculated == 0 and there was no guarantee that bars were already generated.
The solution was to ignore this first run and run the only CopyBuffer only when prev_calculated>0.
I don't understand"two different ATR files from different folders ".

Why there were"two different ATR files from different folders " - I don't understand.

Well, if the chart is opened and the indicator for the current TF is created, the data should already be ready when the chart is opened. Isn't it?

I did not express it correctly. The bars are yes - most likely they are ready. But there is no guarantee that the indicator has been recalculated for all these bars at the first call of OnCalculate, when prev_calculated == 0.
You can run such an indicator to make sure of it.
But it must be done when the quotes are traded. If the market is closed, you won't see the mismatch.
So it's better to try it on cryptocurrency, which is in movement, at weekend.
If Size of Buffer array = -1, it means that indicator buffer is not recalculated yet and BS value will not be correct.

   datetime a = D'2021.04.08 10:00:00';
   int      handle;
   double   Buffer[];
   

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

   ::Print(__FUNCTION__ + "| PERIOD_CURRENT = ", EnumToString(_Period));

}

   {
      ::CopyBuffer(handle, 0, a, 1, Buffer);
      
      double BS = ::NormalizeDouble(Buffer[0], _Digits);
      
      ::Print(__FUNCTION__ + "| a = ", a);
      ::Print(__FUNCTION__ + "| BS ", BS);
      int total_bars = iBars(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT);
      int size = CopyBuffer(handle, 0, 0, total_bars, Buffer);
      Print("Total Bars = " + string(total_bars) + ", Size of Buffer array = " + string(size));
      
      handle = INVALID_HANDLE;
   }
   
   // return value of prev_calculated for next call
   return(rates_total);
}


If you do it on next call of OnCalculate (when prev_calculated>0) then there will be no such problem.

SOM there was a mistake in code - fixed it

I meant the data to calculate the indicator. Don't be sarcastic))))
