IndicatorCounted and Limit

[fly7680]

Hello, I do not know if the number of candles on the Limit variable is the number of candles on the chart or is there a different 
count. 

    {
     int limit;
     int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
  //---- check for possible errors
     if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
  //---- the last counted bar will be recounted
     if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
     limit=Bars-counted_bars;
  //---- main loop
     for(int i=0; i<limit; i++)
       {
        //---- ma_shift set to 0 because SetIndexShift called abowe
        ExtBlueBuffer[i]=iMA(NULL,0,JawsPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
        ExtRedBuffer[i]=iMA(NULL,0,TeethPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
        ExtLimeBuffer[i]=iMA(NULL,0,LipsPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
       }
  //---- done
     return(0);
    }

fly7680:  candles on the chart or is there a different count.

1. Both. The first time it is (as you coded it) Bars. Subsequently it is just 1 (i.e. recalculate bar zero.)
2. No need for the decrement. Contradictory information on IndicatorCounted() - MQL4 forum
3. Start using the new routines.
   
4. Do your lookbacks correctly.
