I have 1 error in this code i tried to convert from MQ4 to AFL. Could anyone please tell me what I did wrong here? I'm new to looping. Just figured out how to create a function in C++ and so I have managed to modify this a bit.
It seems to be a syntax error somewhere but I can't find it.

. But still from what i half understood, you are going from last to first bar and printing 0-5. After 5 you reset it back to 0, this is why you get another series of numbers. If you dont want older numbers than beak from loop once you reach 5. If this is not what you want than pls explain in more detail
