Buffer: direct calculation or variable create different results.

Hi everyone, the following two codes should produce the same result but only the second one works as intended. Someone can explain me why? 

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//---
   int lookback = 1000; 
   for(int iBar = Bars-1-MathMax(lookback, prev_calculated); iBar >= 0; --iBar)
     {

    int indx = iBarShift(NULL,60,Time[iBar],false);
    open_1[iBar] = iOpen(NULL,60,indx);
  
  	}
return(rates_total-1);
  }

The code above produce completely wrong results. Instead the following will work:

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//---
   int lookback = 1000; 
   for(int iBar = Bars-1-MathMax(lookback, prev_calculated); iBar >= 0; --iBar)
     {
    
    int indx = iBarShift(NULL,60,Time[iBar],false);
    double tf_ = iOpen(NULL,60,indx);
    open_1[iBar] = tf_;


  }
return(rates_total-1);
  }

Hope I've explained myself weel. I just want to understand why results are not equal.

You started the download of the H1 with the first, but didn't wait. If you ran it a second time, you would have gotten the correct results.

On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.
