How to understand iBands() value returned

 

Hello,

I am tying to use iBands() in an EA but I dont understand what the value returned mean !


Please help me !

 

iBands

The function returns the handle of the Bollinger Bands® indicator.

Return Value

Returns the handle of a specified technical indicator,  in case of failure returns INVALID_HANDLE. The computer memory can be freed from an indicator that is no more utilized, using the IndicatorRelease() function, to which the indicator handle is passed.

After getting the handle you have to specify the line mode or buffer number: Upper,Main or Lower and then pull the data from it by CopyBuffer Function.
