MQL5 ReferenceArray FunctionsArrayIsSeries

ArrayIsSeries

The function checks whether an array is a timeseries.

bool  ArrayIsSeries(
   const void&  array[]    // checked array
   );

Parameters

array[]

[in] Checked array.

Return Value

It returns true, if a checked array is an array timeseries, otherwise it returns false. Arrays passed as a parameter to the OnCalculate() function must be checked for the order of accessing the array elements by ArrayGetAsSeries().

Example:

#property indicator_chart_window
#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_plots   1
//---- plot Label1
#property indicator_label1  "Label1"
#property indicator_type1   DRAW_LINE
#property indicator_color1  clrRed
#property indicator_style1  STYLE_SOLID
#property indicator_width1  1
//--- indicator buffers
double         Label1Buffer[];
