For manual back testing I need the "  Data Window " to show candle shift . The above code doesn't work . Any idea ?

thank you 

 

You are running through the loop and then applying a value only to index[Bars-1]

   for(int i=0; i<Bars;i++)
     {
      barTime=iTime(NULL,0,i);
      shift_Buffer[i]=iBarShift(NULL,0,barTime);
     }

 Use curly braces to define the loop

Maybe just an exercise. but you achieve the same with the simpler

   for(int i=0; i<Bars;i++)
     {
      shift_Buffer[i]=i;
     }

try it 

You may also want to set indicator digits to 0 

 
your suggestion works thank you very much
