I always use this kind of loop:
int i = ArraySize(array); while(i-->0) sum+=array[i];
To check it use the debugger: https://www.metatrader5.com/en/metaeditor/help/development/debug

Thanks William, I will try yours too later this evening.
Not sure some of your comments would have been necessary if you read my initial request for help; I'm sure they were well addressed there.

Hi,
I am looking for help with writing a small custom code (MQL4) to sum some elements (about 25 to 35 elements) of an array with 100 elements.
I tried the following code but it did not work and I'm not sure how else to go about it.
for (int iArray = ArraySize(array) - 1; iArray >= 0; iArray--) summation += array[iArray];
The only other choice I have is to sum them manually, that is, sum=var1+var2+...var35. This will work but is clumsy and I can only modify the calculation manually.
Please help, thanks.
