The proper sequence to execute Bars

New comment
 
I have noticed that custom indicators and even sample in the MQL4 manual suggests that the bars should be executed from" i=0 to i<Bars" which is WRONG!
Since bar 0 is most recent bar starting from 0 to maximum bar is like playing tape recorder backwards and it will cause serious problems in predicting future market direction in your EA.

Therefore, the proper sequence should be as follows:

int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
int limit=Bars-counted_bars;
for(i=limit; i>-1; i--)
{
something here...
}
