I tried to code it myself but the indicator line doesn't show in the indicator window when I run it. If you go here
MANUAL - TECHNICAL INDICATORS it has a definition of the indicator with the formula for calculating it.
Here's the code I have written:

int start()
{
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
//----check for errors
if (counted_bars<0) return(-1);
//----last counted bar will be recounted
if (counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
int k = Bars - counted_bars;
double midptT, midptY, boxR, midptM, EMV;
while (k>0)
{
midptT = (High[k] + Low[k])/2;
midptY = (High[k+1] + Low[k+1])/2;
midptM = midptT - midptY;
boxR = Volume[k]/(High[k] - Low[k]);
EMV = midptM / boxR;
ExtMapBuffer1[k] = EMV;
k--;
}
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I attached the indicator too if you want to try to run it for yourself.
