const int aratestotal: The rates_total variable from the OnCalculate() function parameters.
const int aprevcalc: The prev_calculated variable from the OnCalculate() function parameters.
double adatahigh[]: The buffer containing high price data for the indicator calculation.
double adatalow[]: The buffer containing low price data for the indicator calculation.
double &ar[]: An intermediate auxiliary buffer.
double &ars[]: Another intermediate auxiliary buffer.
double &achv[]: The buffer where the calculated CHV values will be stored.
Additional Methods:
int barsrequired(): Returns the minimum number of bars required for the indicator calculation.

Example:
The test_chvonarray.mq5 file serves as an example demonstrating how to use the CHVonArray class.
Installation:
Place the incchvonarray file in the MQL5\Include\Inconarray directory within your MetaTrader terminal's data folder. You will need to create the 'Inconarray' folder if it does not exist.
Indicator Description:
This indicator calculates the spread between the maximum and minimum prices to assess volatility based on price amplitude. Unlike some other indicators, Chaikin Volatility does not account for price gaps.
