what's wrong with this array initialization?

New comment
 

it is declared global 

int tflist[];

it is initialized in OnInit 

tflist[8]={PERIOD_M1,PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M10,PERIOD_M15,PERIOD_M30,PERIOD_H1,PERIOD_H4,PERIOD_D1};

it generates this error: '{' - expression expected. What am I doing wrong?

 
int tflist[8]={PERIOD_M1,PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M10,PERIOD_M15,PERIOD_M30,PERIOD_H1,PERIOD_H4,PERIOD_D1};
// or let compiler count
int tflist[]={PERIOD_M1,PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M10,PERIOD_M15,PERIOD_M30,PERIOD_H1,PERIOD_H4,PERIOD_D1};

int tflist[]={PERIOD_M1,PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M10,PERIOD_M15,PERIOD_M30,PERIOD_H1,PERIOD_H4,PERIOD_D1};

both those options generated errors. by both declaring and initializing as a global, the problem was solved; it also worked when declared and initialized in OnCalculate. naturally, it would not work at all when declared and initialized in OnInit. could not declare in global and initialize in OnInit.

Isn't that what I posted?

You can declare it as global, and initialize in OnInit but not with the same syntax, you have to initialize an item at a time.
