ok, I've discovered that if I specify the size of the arrary when declaring them, then the problem goes away. I don't know the why of this. as I've noticed that almost all other indicators don't specify the size of their external buffers.

In your statement that closes the order add two additional steps. 1. Reset i to 0. 2. reset total = OrdersTotal. if(OrderType()==OP_SELL){ OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots( ),Ask,Slippage,clr_close); i=0; total=OrdersTotal(); } This will force it ...
