Show result on the chart

[zakerri]

Hello everyone. I am learning MQL5, I’m having an issue, and I wonder if someone here could help me.

I would like to calculate the difference between the current closing price and the twenty simple moving average and then show the result on the chart. 

I did this and it has been correctly compiled, but it always shows 0.0000. 

Please, can someone check my code and figure out where the error is ?

   They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int). You get that in OnInit. In OnTick/OnCalculate (after the indicator has updated its buffers), you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.

3. You did not set your array (Diff) direction.
   

   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.

4. PRICE_CLOSE is constant (for iMA), not a value.
