always happens error code 2 #4806

and handle is fine,   I already checked with 

if (nHandle_2 == INVALID_HANDLE) {printf("handle error 2");}
 

Use BarsCalculated() to check if data has been loaded. Also keep in mind that PERIOD_D1 has a different rates_total count than the chart timeframe. 

   if (CopyBuffer(nHandle_1,0,0,rates_total - ExtPeriodRSI - 1,ExtRSI_1)<0) printf("error code 1 #" + GetLastError());
   int ratesTotal=Bars(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1);
   if(BarsCalculated(nHandle_2)<ratesTotal)  return(0);
   if (CopyBuffer(nHandle_2,0,0,ratesTotal - ExtPeriodRSI - 1,ExtRSI_2)<0) printf("error code 2 #" + GetLastError());
   return(rates_total);

changed codes like this

   int ratesTotal=Bars(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1);
   if (CopyBuffer(nHandle_1,0,0,rates_total - ExtPeriodRSI - 1,ExtRSI_1)<0) printf("error code 1 #" + GetLastError());
   if (CopyBuffer(nHandle_2,0,0,ratesTotal - ExtPeriodRSI - 1,ExtRSI_2)<0) printf("error code 2 #" + GetLastError());
   if(BarsCalculated(nHandle_2)<ratesTotal)  printf("calculated bars " + BarsCalculated(nHandle_2) + "   ratestotal " + ratesTotal);

and message shows     

calculated bars -1      ratestotal 2487


data has not been loaded , what should I do?

thanks.

If data hasn't been loaded, return(0); and wait for the next tick.

   if (CopyBuffer(nHandle_1,0,0,rates_total - ExtPeriodRSI - 1,ExtRSI_1)<0) printf("error code 1 #" + GetLastError());
   int ratesTotal=Bars(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1);
   if(BarsCalculated(nHandle_2)<ratesTotal)  return(0);
   if (CopyBuffer(nHandle_2,0,0,ratesTotal - ExtPeriodRSI - 1,ExtRSI_2)<0) printf("error code 2 #" + GetLastError());
   printf("calculated bars %d  ratestotal %d",BarsCalculated(nHandle_2),ratesTotal);
   return(rates_total);
