For loop Divergence problem

New comment
Hi everybody!

Recently I was developing a simple custom indicator that detects divergences based on Stochastic Oscillator. I wanted to test one divergence condition. The indicator inserted the first arrow, but the second one (given that there was a clearly VISIBLE divergence) doesn't get drawn. 
If you test the code it will be more understandable, my main problem is that no errors are reported, but the for loop backwards doesnt seem to work.

I'd appreciate your suggestions! Thank you!

It is a good practice to give variables and buffers names that help you to recognise what values they hold, especially when asking others to check your code. It will also help you when looking at your own code when you haven't worked on it for a while.

  1. ci, cs, cd are meaningless to us. They will be meaningless to you in a few days. Always write meaningful names.
  2. If you can't read your code, out loud, and have it make sense in your language, rename it until it does.
        if(pmp && (dbt[0]<db[y] && dbt[1]>High[y])) // You can't say that
// vs
    bool isUptrend = dbt[0] < db[y];
    bool isBreakout = dbt[1] >High[y];
    if(isFoundBarn && isUptrend && isBreakout)   // You can say this.
