Hello Everybody
I wrote an oscillator (see attachment), but it does not refresh when bar changes.

Can somebody help me ?

Thanks

Neither of these loops will work:
Inserted Code
   for(i=limit-9; i>=0; i--)
   //for(i=0; i>=0; i--)
Print out the value of limit. It normally has the value of 2 after the initial run through start(). 2-9=-7.

You can find the highest and lowest prices like this:
Inserted Code
interval_high=iHigh(NULL,0,iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,nr_of_bars,start_bar));
interval_low=iLow(NULL,0,iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,nr_of_bars,start_bar));

Sorry for hijacking the thread.

I have some, probably, basic or maybe not so basic questions about coding. Where would be the best place to post my questions, please?

I am new to Forex Factory so I am not allowed to open my own thread yet, which would be the best option for me.

Also I am new to programming but not new to trading, so I know what I want to program.

Thank you.

As you have already jumped in here then why not post your Q and see if you can get a response. Most probably some kind soul will help.

Hi Mtuppers,
It's quite easy: change <limit-9> with <limit-1>
