CopyBuffer

Hi

I need to copy the latest 300 values of the iStochastics into an stochBuffer
Is the following correct?

   stoHandle = iStochastic(_symbol, _period, 14, 3, 3, MODE_SMA, STO_LOWHIGH);
   CopyBuffer(stoHandle, 0, 0, 300, stochBuffer);

No, it will copy the first 300 bars (the oldest) in the chart.

Is there a way to copy the latest 300 values of the iStochastic indicator in a code running in a CLASS/INCLUDE file where rates_total is out of scope to do:

CopyBuffer(stoHandle, 0, rates_total-300, 300, stochBuffer);

or. how can I get the ArraySize(iStochastic); since iStochastic returns an int?

Set array stochBuffer as series and then copy as before (0, 300). It will then contain the latest data.

Wait, I've just checked the help files. It doesn't matter if you set the array as series or not. It will always copy the latest bars. So they answer to the OP is yes. Disregard my previous posts.
