My code doesn't show on chart? Please help

[Alex]

Hi,

I recently returned to using some of my old MT4 charts and modifying an old indicator. The original works perfectly well, however, when I modified the timeframe to make it calculate and draw lines for 4H candles, it doesn't work. 

There is no error message when the indicator was compiled, but it simply doesn't show up on charts. Please could any coding masters help me check it out?

(I can't seem to attach the indicator here, so I copied the code in the message. Sorry for any inconvenience! And thanks in advance!!!)

Edit -- Mounir Cheikh, I followed your suggestion, and it now works. Thank you so very much. You are a star!

And to the other two posters: sorry for having posted a long block of code in the wrong format. Now I have removed it. Thanks again for your time and suggestions. I may need to ask more coding questions in the future.

2. You have no loop

   for (i=limit; i>=0;i--)
      double CandleNum[5000];

[Mounir Cheikh]

Hi,

I think that:

double CandleNum[5000]

need to be before:

for (i=limit; i>=0;i--)
