IBands Sucking all of my RAM

New comment
 

Hi all I'm having problem with iBANS indicator buffer. When I run my function it will run until my RAM memory reaches max and then it will return only 0.0 values from IBANDS indicator. Ones I stop function RAM is freed and and then when I start function again it will return normal values until RAM reaches max memory again.

How can I empty iBANDS indicator buffer during loop? Thanks in advance.

It's because you are creating potentially thousands of indicator instance since you are not using the correct shift index param. 

band_main= iBands(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,20,2,frame,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0);
band_main= iBands(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,frame);

Do try and avoid the overuse/abuse of global variables, and also use iBarShift instead of the while loop to test if the time is greater...

Oh I see it. Thanks Nicholi I just could not see what am I doing wrong.
