BarsCalculated
BarsCalculated
Returns the number of calculated data for the specified indicator.
int BarsCalculated(
int indicator_handle, // indicator handle
);Parameters
- indicator_handle
[in] The indicator handle, returned by the corresponding indicator function.
Return Value
Returns the amount of calculated data in the indicator buffer or -1 in the case of error (data not calculated yet)
Note
The function is useful when it’s necessary to get the indicator data immediately after its creation (indicator handle is available).
Example:
void OnStart()
{
double Ups[];
//--- set timeseries ordering for the arrays
ArraySetAsSeries(Ups,true);
//--- create handle for the Fractal Indicator
int FractalsHandle=iFractals(NULL,0);
//--- reset the error code
ResetLastError();
//--- try to copy the indicator values
int i,copied=CopyBuffer(FractalsHandle,0,0,1000,Ups);
if(copied<=0)
{
Sleep(50);
for(i=0;i<100;i++)
{
if(BarsCalculated(FractalsHandle)>0)
break;
Sleep(50);
}
copied=CopyBuffer(FractalsHandle,0,0,1000,Ups);
if(copied<=0)
{
Print("Failed to copy upper fractals. Error = ",GetLastError(),
"i = ",i," copied = ",copied);
return;
}
else
Print("Upper fractals copied",
"i = ",i," copied = ",copied);
}
else Print("Upper fractals copied. ArraySize = ",ArraySize(Ups));
