NonLagMA_v5:

This is a moving where effect of retardation is lessened by means of damped cosinusoid defining coefficients' ratios in equation of the linearly weighted average (LWMA).

Spent the day updating an old MQL4 version of the nonLagMA and then translating it to MQL5 - and found this more concise MQL5 version here: "https://www.mql5.com/en/code/7022".

I have a question about Copy Buffer - in the MQL5 version attached, this line:

   if(CopyBuffer(RawImahandle,             0,                     0,                   to_copy,   indiStruct[RAW_IMA_IDX].indiBuff)<0)

//int CopyBuffer( int indicator_handle, int buffer_num, int start_pos, int count, double buffer[] );

What does the buffer_num parameter refer to?  I see in all code examples that I looked at today, it is always zero, and it does not work to put the destination buffer number (buffer index for the double buffer[] parameter) in it...

--- double buffer[] is described as "target array to copy", but seems to always be used as "target array for copying to" - is that correct (it is not the array being copied from)?

I did press delete, and it didn't delete, so I edited that post to refer to here (the edit seemed to take just fine) - didn't know what else to do.

Still, no answer on what that zero means in CopyBuffer....
