I'm writing an EA. I have a couple indicators I want to use that I would like to trade if they change colors. For instance, if the indicator is green, buy. If the indicator is yellow, sell. Any help would be appreciated.

Use iCustom statement such as:

Note: PM1 or PM2 is variable name - can be changed.

int BuyValue=0, SellValue=0;

PHP Code:


			
  PM1=iCustom(NULL,60,"SSL_fast_mtf",0,0);// "SSL . . " is name of custom indicator file name - Buffer 0.
  PM1_1=iCustom(NULL,60,"SSL_fast_mtf",0,1);//Buffer 0, 1-Back.

PHP Code:


			
  PM2=iCustom(NULL,60,"SSL_fast_mtf",1,0);//Buffer 1.
  PM2_1=iCustom(NULL,60,"SSL_fast_mtf",1,1);//Buffer 1, 1-Back.

Then logic statement:

if(PM1>PM2 && PM1_1<PM2_1) {

BuyValue=1;

}

if(PM1<PM2 && PM1_1>PM2_1){

SellValue=1;

}

When Buy or Sell Value=1, then Buy or Sell Statement to open ticket.

Dave

P.S. Up is normally Buffer 0, Dwn is normally Buffer 1!

Ok, I've been trying to get my EA to work. I just want it to trade when the indicator changes from one color to another. I don't think it should be that hard but I make everything difficult. Does anyone have a simple EA that trades based on only one indicator changing color? For an example, so I can see how horrible my programming skills really are.

hello, I know nothing about codes but was curious to know if it would be possible to write a code using info from a stoc and a cci on a 5 and 15 min time frame and when they line up for some type of alert go off. IS this possible, and does anyone know anyone who could do it?

please advise.

Please can someone explain to me how can I get rid of an "OrderModify error 1" problem. I been looking and it seams I need to NormalizeDouble(), but I've normalized everything from here to the moon and still I'm getting the error.

Once I understand it I think I'll be able to figure it out, please can someone help. thanks.

Take a look in the MQLEditor help file at the icustom function and/or do a search here for it.

Good luck
