You are creating a new handle per tick. Perhaps you should read the manual, especially the examples.

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.

Hi, William. I did as you said and put the handles into the OnInit but the behaviour is different because probably I'm doing something wrong. The problem is the handle has a variable instead of fixed shift value

  handle1D1=iBands(NULL,PERIOD_H1,24,counter6,1.4,PRICE_OPEN);

and when the program does the 'for' loop to collect the data the result is very different from having the handle below inside the 'for' loop. How can I make that handle work?
