How to use iMAOnArray() with Stochastic? - page 3

double Signal_Stochastic[];

You declare your array, but you don't size it

It might not the problem as I have seen many code with such declaration.

Yet if you feel it's wrong, please show the right one. Thanks

There is nothing wrong "with such declaration". The problem, is you didn't size it later. Either explicitly, or automatically as a indicator buffer. Look again at your " I have seen many code"

Ok, what I have understood so far by the Array things:

int start()
{
sLog_Start = "START - start() function----------------------------------";

double Signal_Stochastic[];//....................................................................................L-1


sLog_Start = sLog_Start + sNL + "    Start - Set and Get MA values";

    ArraySetAsSeries(Signal_Stochastic, true);//................................................................L-2
   for( i=0; i<Bars; i++)
Signal_Stochastic[i] = iStochastic(NULL,0,75,5,5,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,i);//...................................L-3

   double MA_Signal_Sto = iMAOnArray(Signal_Stochastic, 0,20,0,MODE_SMA,0);//...................................L-4
   

sLog_Start = sLog_Start + sNL + "    Signal Sto's Value=" +  Signal_Stochastic[0];..............................L-5
sLog_Start = sLog_Start + sNL + "    MA_Signal_Sto's Value=" +  MA_Signal_Sto;

if (Signal_Stochastic>MA_Signal_Sto)
{
Buy;
}
if (Signal_Stochastic<MA_Signal_Sto)
{
Sell;
}
return (0);
}

At Line 1(L-1): I have declared an array called 'Signal_Stochastic' with indefinite array size.

At L-2: Used AraySetAsSeries() function for Right to Left counting.

At L-3: Defined the Signal_Stochastic Array with a size of 'i' where 'i' keeps increasing from '0' to last bar available. The value of Signal Line of the Stochastic is getting calculated at every bar starting from the current bar to backward.

At L-4: Define Here this MA is getting fed from the Signal Line of Stochastic. But calculating Value of MA only for current bar.

At L-5: Tried to see the value of Signal Line for current bar.

But I know I have faults in understanding the code.

Try this script and notice that #propertystrict has been commented out. This is because an array out of range error is a critical error if #propertystrict is enabled

//#property strict

//| Script program start function                                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
//---
   double Signal_Stochastic[];
   int array_size = 5;
   
   for(int index=0; index < array_size; index++)
     {
     Signal_Stochastic[index]=index;
     Alert("index = ",index," Signal_Stochastic[",index,"] = ",Signal_Stochastic[index]);
     }
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

All the alerts will show zero

Add this single line of code to Resize the array

ArrayResize(Signal_Stochastic,array_size);


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//#property strict

void OnStart()
  {
//---
   double Signal_Stochastic[];
   int array_size = 5;
   ArrayResize(Signal_Stochastic,array_size);
   
   for(int index=0; index < array_size; index++)
     {
     Signal_Stochastic[index]=index;
     Alert("index = ",index," Signal_Stochastic[",index,"] = ",Signal_Stochastic[index]);
     }
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

And you will see that the Alerts are as expected

If you un-comment #property strict, you will see the alerts as doubles

But nowhere have you sized the array

Actually I 'm trying to Figure out this 'Array Sizing' thing. If there is any reference with example please give tat link. Thanks
 

No Luck yet. :(

couldn't find any satisfactory example.
