Hi guys, i wrote this code in an indicator to show the value of the array and an moving average on this but the chart does only show the array not the MA. What is wrong with that? #property indicator_buffers 2 // Number of buffers #property indicator_color1 Blue // Color of the 1st line

I get the arrayX by the function--ArrayCopyRates();    and then execute functions of  "ArrayGetAsSeries(arrayX)" and "ArrayIsSeries(arrayX)" as order.    but the return of the former is 1 and that of latter is 0. why? 2.  how can get the maximum or minimum open price for the arrayX? 3. how can i...
