Someone fix these indicators please

Hello,

I am attaching kinda old indicators I've been using to smooth the market trend. But now I modified the code in a way that it could really crash my platform MT4.

The problem is simple. It should have a limit of MaxBars to display under chart window. But its not the case, it paints all bars with no max.

Could you tell me why it does not obey the rules of MaxBars=500? ..

This statement:

int limit=Bars-counted_bars;

will have a large value on initial startup since none of the bars have been calculated.

The limit statement is used here:

for(i=0, i1=0, i2=0, i3=0, i4=0;i<limit;i++)

change the limit value to something small to keep metatrader from getting locked up doing the calculations.

Thanks!

I think the MaxBars=500 does not do any role here. I think one line or two have been accidently removed from chart.

What if I replace int limit=Bars-counted_bars; by
int limit=100

(as 100 = bars)?

Would it work? Slightly confused.
Or in other way, how can I force MT to respect MaxBars value, if i set it at 50 say.

try just setting limit to 100 or whatever. It will give you something to test it with.

limit=50;

Thanks!

Hi,

You can add just one extra line below the line defining the limit.

int limit=Bars-counted_bars; // old line
if (limit > MaxBars && MaxBars > 0) limit = MaxBars; // additional line

This gives you full control. If you want to check for all bars, you can just use zero as input.
