Resistance & Support - indicateur pour MetaTrader 5

Resistance and support lines are drawn based on the iFractals indicator. The indicator takes into account the fact that the last value of Fractals can be redrawn, therefore +5 additional bars are analyzed:

//--- number of values copied from the iFractals indicator 
   int values_to_copy=-1;
//--- if it is the first start of calculation of the indicator
   if(prev_calculated==0)
      values_to_copy=rates_total;
   else
     {
      //--- it means that it's not the first time of the indicator calculation, and since the last call of OnCalculate() 
      //--- for calculation not more than one bar is added 
      //--- value "+5" - because of the feature of drawing fractals
      values_to_copy=(rates_total-prev_calculated)+5;
     }
