Why do "prices" in OnCalculate() show different values?

New comment
 
As you can see in the code, I put the high prices into an array and printed it. But there are differences between the output prices and the prices I see in the parity. This applies not only to "high", but also to others.

I can't understand why?

Use ArraySetAsSeries(high,true)

Or

for(int i = rates_total-1 ; i < rates_total-1-Limit; --i)
 

Thanks.

İt worked.

I thought the 0th element of the array started from the right of the graph.

Perhaps you should read the manual. Event Handling Functions - Functions - Language Basics - MQL5 Reference - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5

To determine the indexing direction of time[], open[], high[], low[], close[], tick_volume[], volume[] and spread[], call ArrayGetAsSeries(). In order not to depend on default values, you should unconditionally call the ArraySetAsSeries() function for those arrays, which are expected to work with.

Yes I have read. For some reason, I remembered the information that indexing starts from the right, since it says "defult values" in the article.

I've been messing around with MQL for the past 3 days for my needs. I guess I'm looking for convenience here, as in C# and Python.

But anyway, thanks for your interest.
