I'm using iMAOnArray and I seem to be getting a straight line.
I'm using it on an indicator but within that same indicator itself, is this the correct way to us iMAOnArray? Could this be why I am getting a constant value along the whole indicator?

Right thanks, but I recently realised using iMAOnArray was not right for what I was trying to do, due to the nature of my indicator, i'm using iMA instead and I have run into a different issue.
Usually I don't post all my code but I think it may be necessary in this case.
This is my indicator, it's Market Pressure Buy (Downward bias)
It calculates the rate of increase and then determines the rate of the rate of increase by determining the previous rate of increase with the current rate of increase, I have a sell version which does the same but with decrease (in price).
The code itself is incredible simple atm as it is in it's inchoate stage.

The issue I'm having is that only one of the indicators get's drawn, if I blank one out I get data for the other, and if I blank out neither I only get data for the market Bias.

Seems to be a fix.
Woops I mean
