Volume return strange values

[Simha90]

Hi I'm using metatrader 5 from Alpari, and I have next issue: When I'm trying to get volume it always returning strange values. I'm doing it like:

long v[]; ArrayResize(v, 1000); ArraySetAsSeries(v, true);
CopyRealVolume("EURUSD", PERIOD_M1, 1, 1000, v);
Print(v[0]+"--"+v[300]+"--"+v[500]+"--"+v[700]+"--"+v[999]);

And in the and I'm getting next output:

2015.01.27 23:00:59.343	MyAdvisor (EURUSD,M1)	0--0--0--2326685000--0

What I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

If you're using Alpari UK or Alpari JP, I'm surprised you're getting any return value at all - they have shut down Alpari.

So what I need to do? Currently now I'm locating in Israel, how to fix it?

Unfortunately, you need to find a new broker sorry

You have to test the returned value of CopyRealVolume(), to check if if copy was correctly executed.

int copied=CopyRealVolume("EURUSD", PERIOD_M1, 1, 1000, v);

if(copied==-1)
  {
    //--- Error processing
  }
