GetData returns "invalid buffer" from MACD Indicator

New comment
 

Hi, 

Im working on my frist Expert , based in the CExpertSignal.

Im trying to access data from the MACD Indocator, that is located in  "Examples\\MACD.ex5".

The OnInit() method of MACD.mq5 in "Indicators\\Examples" says:

//--- indicator buffers mapping
   SetIndexBuffer(0,ExtMacdBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
   SetIndexBuffer(1,ExtSignalBuffer,INDICATOR_DATA);
   SetIndexBuffer(2,ExtFastMaBuffer,INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS);
   SetIndexBuffer(3,ExtSlowMaBuffer,INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS);

Therefore I would expext to access data of the ExtMacdBuffer und ExtSignalBuffer as follows.

   double            MACDLine(const int index)             const { return(m_MACD.GetData(0, index)); }
   double            MACDSignal(const int index)           const { return(m_MACD.GetData(1,index)); }

...

   //--- For operation with ticks idx=0, for operation with formed bars idx=1
   int idx=StartIndex();

   //--- Values of MAs at the last formed bar
   double last_MACD_value=MACDLine(idx);
   double last_MACDSignal_value=MACDSignal(idx);

 

But access works only for the first Buffer (ExtMacdBuffer) while any attempt to access the second Buffer (ExtSignalBuffer) throws a "CIndicator::GetData: invalid buffer" error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Peter

 

OK - I found it:

Aftrer creation of the MACD-Indicator, I just needed to change

   //--- Number of buffers
   if(!m_MACD.NumBuffers(1)) return(false);

into

   //--- Number of buffers
   if(!m_MACD.NumBuffers(2)) return(false);
