Damn man! so it works backward and I was thinking forward. So when we say

 for(int i=0; i<Bars; i++)

 

i = 0 is the most recent bar and i = 1 is the bar previous to the most recent one. And I was thinking that i = 0 is the first (historical) bar in the current chart. Thanks guys you rock! 

 

My pleasure.

(in mql5 indexation is like you thought and it is uncomfortable)

In indicators (only) you can use the arguments in OnCalculate (high, low, etc. ) and set them to series (Bars-1, ..., 2,1, 0=current) or not series (0=oldest, 1,2,... Bars-1) Buffers default to series and you have to set them to not series, to match.

The Predefined Variables - MQL4 Reference High, Low, etc., are always series and thus work with iHighest - Timeseries and Indicators Access - MQL4 Reference, etc. 

Note the difference high vs High and low vs Low.
