Problem getting values from array - page 2

New comment
Hi Rosh,

Thank you for your clarification. It is most helpful.

Can you please confirm that, as implied by the examples and documentation, assigning a value to an array element beyond the existing array bounds automatically resizes the array.

Regards,

Well, I shall give an example tomorrow (same your code).
As well as promised, I publish an example. This expert adviser (EA) illustrates a life of a array between changes of the price (between ticks).

Also pay attention to numerical sequence, which gives out the generator pseudo-casual number MathRand () without use of preliminary initialization MAthSrand () .
