MQL5: with For..Loop Draw Arrow Function printing only 2 elements out of 10 in Array !!!

[Anil Varma]

Hi Friends

I have created a testing EA to calculate High Low value index, and draw arrow for these points on chart. However, while using for..loop it is drawing only 0 and 1 element from the array(s). Rest of the elements 2 to 9 are not drawn.

Please help me to locate the issue ...
