Unable to retrieve correct buffer info with ICustom

New comment
 

I am using a 64bit Vista machine. I have written a simple custom indicator that does not have any extern variables, it has 8 buffers filled with the value 1.0 . When I use ICustom to retrieve the buffer information to the EA and print it, in the Journal the values all come out as 0 . Can anybody tell me why this is. Thank you an advance.
