   }
   
   return(0);
}
I have gone over this and over this and it still shows all the red lines (the ones that SHOULD be zero) all over the place and the blue lines (the ones that SHOULD be all over the place) at zero. Can anyone help?
 

Hi,LaYsX

Your code is wrong.Please check iMA function definition.

Right code is here.

iO = iMA( NULL, 0, 1, 0, 0, PRICE_OPEN, iPos );
iH = iMA( NULL, 0, 1, 0, 0, PRICE_HIGH, iPos );
iL = iMA( NULL, 0, 1, 0, 0, PRICE_LOW, iPos );
iC = iMA( NULL, 0, 1, 0, 0, PRICE_CLOSE, iPos );

(ref.

MODE_OPEN 0 Open price.
MODE_LOW 1 Low price.
MODE_HIGH 2 High price.
MODE_CLOSE 3 Close price.

PRICE_CLOSE 0 Close price.
PRICE_OPEN 1 Open price.
PRICE_HIGH 2 High price.
PRICE_LOW 3 Low price.

Oh, thank you. I was working on someone elses code when I ran into this. Seems strange that they would have similar definitions (assuming they are arbitrary) and not number them the same. Thank you.
