I am trying to do some basic lookback on equities price but for some reaason my loop is throwing an out of range error. The rollingwindows has worked fine before with indicators.

The error i get is " Runtime Error: ArgumentOutOfRangeException : Must be between 0 and 0 "

For me it says it is has maybe one value -- to access this you can use indexed with 0 to get it
Or the array is empty. I'm not sure know.
But what you did: using index 1 which won't work because nothing is there :)

I don't understand why the windows array doesnt't contain tradebar price in each index. I was able to print out all the values in index 0. It seems as if all the values where placed in index 0.. How would I fix this so that the values are distributed into each index?
