I get array out of range when i try to pull info from a chart im not backtesting on...
  

    double CalcFibo2()
{
   int LowBar = 0, HighBar= 0;
  double LowValue = 0 ,HighValue = 0;
  
  int lowest_bar = iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,BarsBack2,StartBar);
  int highest_bar = iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,BarsBack2,StartBar);
  
  double higher_point = 0;
  double lower_point = 0;
  HighValue=High[highest_bar];
  LowValue=Low[lowest_bar];
  
  double fibo = (Ask-LowValue)/(HighValue-LowValue);
 // Print(fibo);
  return fibo;
}

Yes im trying to change the period this code its working on, it seems i can only get it to work on the chart im backtesting on..

Id like to backtest on M15 but using the High/Low of the daily timeframe using CalcFibo as a filter...

This should do it.........

  int lowest_bar = iLowest(NULL,PERIOD_D1,MODE_LOW,BarsBack2,StartBar);
  int highest_bar = iHighest(NULL,PERIOD_D1,MODE_HIGH,BarsBack2,StartBar);
  
  double higher_point = 0;
  double lower_point = 0;
  HighValue=iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_D1,highest_bar);
  LowValue=iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,lowest_bar);
