hey enivid..... thanks for the reply......

saw both those functions but tried neither.....

was trying the same arraycopy method which has worked without fail before....

the basic code is very simple, we both could write every line of it in our heads..... until volume for me.....

the only difference i can see is ivolume requires a shift where the others do not.....

the indicator sets all the global values for it's symbol and 7 common timeframes......

the dashboard indicator then cycles thru all the global values and displays them....

i will read up on the functions you mentioned.......

my goal is to see the coppock indicator and all others, in a single at a glance screen.....h

You think that iRealVolume() and iVolume() are indicator functions (like iMA()), but they aren't. They are access functions, like iHigh() and iLow(). That's why you cannot copy any buffers from them.
