iBands on Array for MQL5

New comment
 

I am trying to calculate iBandsOnArray for MQL5 but i am only able to get the middle line value in my expert my upper and lower line keep giving me wrong values

i think the problem is from the standard deviation

if i can get a standard deviation function that i can apply to the current bb mid value, i can get it to work


The problem i have with standard deviation is that it expects whole arrays for price and maprice and i only have current bb mid value and current oscillator value

is there a way i can use only current and previous price and maprice values to get deviation?

my code is below

double iBandsOnArray(double &array[],
                     int total,
                     int period,
                     int deviation,
                     int bands_shift,
                     int mode,
                     int shift){
                     
                     
         double buf[],arr[];
         if(total==0) total=ArraySize(array);
         if(total>0 && total<=period) return(0);
         if(shift>total-period-bands_shift) return(0);
         ArrayResize(buf,50,1000);
         ArrayResize(arr,50,1000);
         ArrayInitialize(arr,0);
         //buf[0]=0;
         
      switch(mode)
      {
        
      case MAIN_LINE :
        {     
         total=ArrayCopy(arr,array,shift+bands_shift,shift+bands_shift,period);
         if(ArrayResize(buf,total)<0) return(0);
         double sum=0;
         int    i,pos=total-1;
         for(i=1;i<period;i++,pos--)
            sum+=arr[pos];
         while(pos>=0)
           {
            sum+=arr[pos];
            buf[pos]=sum/period;
            sum-=arr[pos+period-1];
            pos--;
           }
       ExtStdDevBuffer[0]=StdDev_Func(ExtBandsPeriod,indiVal,buf,ExtBandsPeriod);
       
       double high=buf[0]+ExtBandsDeviations*ExtStdDevBuffer[0];
       double low=buf[0]-ExtBandsDeviations*ExtStdDevBuffer[0];
       Comment(low, " ",buf[0], " ", high);
       
       return(buf[0]);
      }
      }
return(0);
}

have you a solution?

I need also to use bollinger on array and I've problem with stdDev...

none

hopefully MQL will add it to MT5 soon

 
Hi there, do you have the solution now? I'm facing the same problem here.
