Variables do not work correctly...

[rsquared1]

Hello,
I am currently trying to create a ea based on the tdi and heiken ashi indicators.
I came across a problem which I can't fix for some reason.
I created a workaround for an array to save values in variables.


The variable ha_dir_trend_counter is reset before every run of the "array workaround"... (ha_dir_trend_counter = 0;)
The ea then identifies long/short heiken ashi candles. Afterwards 1/-1 is saved in the variable ha_dir (ha_dir = -1; or ha_dir = 1;).
Then I use the array workaround to move all variables one spot up in the array (e.g. ha_dir_bar_12 = ha_dir_bar_11; etc. and save the ha_dir value into ha_dir_bar_1)
Afterwards I am checking the saved "array" for trend pattern but here the problem starts... The reset of the ha_dir_trend_counter doesnt work. It somehow always increments... here is some console output I generated to debug:

Why does this happen?

Thanks in advance... I'm sry for the confusing representation of the problem...

@rsquared1 From what I see this should work, you could try separating this code and placing a modify variables block in between custom code blocks to solely reset the variable, or maybe just separating will ensure one task is finished before starting the next.
