自定义指标编译报错：OnCalculate函数未找到及参数类型错误

编译错误信息 #

• sumon.mq4第50行第5列：OnCalculate函数声明类型或/及参数错误
• 第1行第1列：自定义指标中未找到OnCalculate函数

错误原因 #

MT4的MQL4语言对OnCalculate函数的参数类型有严格要求，当前代码使用了MT5风格的参数定义，其中最后一个参数spread的类型不符合MT4规范：MT4中spread为整数类型，但代码里写成了double类型，导致编译器无法识别正确的函数签名，进而触发"未找到OnCalculate函数"的连锁错误。

修复方案 #

1. 修正OnCalculate函数的参数类型
   将函数声明中的最后一个参数const double &spread[]修改为const int &spread[]。

2. 优化数组系列化设置（可选）
   建议将数组系列化设置移至OnInit函数中，避免每次计算时重复设置，提升效率；同时新增prev_calculated判断，跳过已计算的历史K线，优化运行性能。

额外说明 #

• 修正参数类型后，编译器能正确识别OnCalculate函数，第二个错误会自动消失。
• 新增的prev_calculated判断可以大幅减少重复计算量，提升指标运行效率。
• 在OnInit中统一设置数组系列化模式，确保K线索引逻辑一致，避免出现数据错位问题。
