WHAT DID YOU DO?????????? HOW COULD YOU UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE AND MAKE THIS NOT WORK??????????

 

It is just a buffer that counts every bar. There is no way to make it work now.

int limit;

   if(prev_calculated==0)
      limit=0;
   else limit=prev_calculated-1;

int tick;
   for(int i=limit;i<rates_total;i++)
     {
     double a = Close[i]>0;
    
      if(a==true)
        {
        tick++;
         BufferFlat[i]=tick;
        }

}

//---- done
   return(rates_total);
  }

1. Please insert code properly.

2. How did it work before update?

3. How is it working now? What's wrong? Make screenshots, attach logs and all sources.

2. How did it work before update?

It would create a buffer in a separate window that would create a buffer with a value that increased with every bar.

3. How is it working now? What's wrong? Make screenshots, attach logs and all sources

Now, I get a separate window but nothing is in it.

I actually cannot get any values into the window.

Thank you. We have found our error in program's properties. At this moment you can avoid this error if you set indicator_maximum and indicator_minimum as 2.0 and 0.0


Have you seen warning?

possible use of uninitialized variable 'tick'   tmp.mq5 48      10

Check your algorithm. I think there is a logical mistake.

 

Thank you very much. I have received similar results with the indicator window showing no data in numerous situations, and I have never been able to solve that issue through adding decimals to the min/max values. So many variables to troubleshoot. I actually just discovered the problem myself.

Thanks again. I should know a little better than to think that there has been some major fundamental change to the language. 

This is easily the best back-testing software I have ever come across.
