Of this program I would like to know:
1) What is the function that brings up the arrows on the chart?
2) What does this line: CrossUp [i] = Low [i] - Range * 1.5 / Crossdown [i] = High [i] + Range * 1.5; what is the use?
3) I spiegatr function "bool NewBar ()"?
4) "Time [0]" is the last bar ?

  1. None, the terminal draws the arrows.
  2. Tells the terminal if and where to draw the arrows
  3. English only. NewBar returns true at the first tick of a new bar. If(alert && NewBar) results in only one alert at the start of a bar not an alert per tick.
  4. Index=0 is the last bar. Each bar has Open[], High[], Low[], Close[], Time[], and (tick) Volume[]

Explain to me better "
  1. Tells the terminal if and where to draw the arrows
 
texcs: Explain to me better Tells the terminal if and where to draw the arrows
If you leave a buffer element empty (EMPTY_VALUE) it doesn't draw the line or arrow
If you put a value in the buffer, it draws the line or arrow at the price.
 
And explain to me how they are drawn green arrows?
