double aDataClose[]
- the buffer with the Close data for the indicator calculation;
double aDataVolume[]
- the buffer with the Volume data for the indicator calculation;
double aAD[]
- the buffer with the calculated value.
Additional methods:

string Name()
- returns the line with the indicator name.
Test_ADOnArray.mq5 is a sample indicator showing CADOnArray class application. IncADOnArray file must be placed to MQL5\Include\IncOnArray of the terminal data folder (IncOnArray folder must be created).
Technical Indicator is determined by the changes in price and volume. The volume acts as a weighting coefficient at the change of price - the higher the coefficient (the volume) is, the greater the contribution of the price change (for this period of time) will be in the value of the indicator.
