ciao mario.

io cambiarei

//|                                              http://www.mlq5.it/

in

//|                                              http://www.mql5.it/

eh hai fatto una variabla esterna

extern int MA_Shift=0;

che non stai usando nella calculazione.

//z hui, non ho piú parlato/scritto in italiano da tanto tempo...
