In your iCustom(); what is the LineSize3 parameter? If it's the CCI_Woodies_Lnx_v4 buffer number that's ok, if not, the buffer number you want to call is missing.

Also you have a space in your coding here: "S howLSMA".

Hi guys i have been trying for the last three days to get this expert advisor to execute long trades in mt4 with no success. it only executes short trades even though the signal_buy is there . please could anyone have a look at this code and fix it for me or tell me what to do. i'm new to programming and built it from an online strategy builder. thanks in advance!

the code is attached.

It's the value for the line, thin or bigger.

Ferrufx, I am totally new to this. built it on strategybuilder.com, i have no clue to "icustom" and i am lucky to have gotten this far. the idea is to buy when sma is above the top bollinger band and closethe trade once it crosses below the upper band. it should sell when sma is below the lowe bollinger band and close the trade when sma crosses above the lower band. please can you or someone correct this code so that it buys and sells? i'm trying to learn mql as we speak and having a hard time but not giving up yet

I think so and it's why i asked ... Then the bar shift or the buffer number needed is missing at the end of the iCustom(); line.

delvinja, your code is at the very beginning. Actually I didn't see any long or short conditions to trigger a trade.

Thanks, ferrufx for the info. but how do iget this ea to work i obviously am not competent enough to make the adjustments myself so any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Thanks Linuxer

I try to learn a little bit of coding MQL4 by copy and paste.
It's not so important, only for my learning.

Thanks once again

Why don't you try with iCCI for your TCCI instead of call iCustom. There is nothing different between standard CCI and the other indicator.

Sorry delvinja, I answered wrong by looking the wrong EA. This answer was for Badguy.

The indicator is the Macd_BB like the one used by Nexgen.
Settings are as follows"
FastLen = 10
SloLengthwLen = 26
Length = 10
Stdev = 1

a buy order should be executed when a green ball is developed above the upper line and closes only when the balls cross below the upper line again or hits ny trailing stop.
a sell is executed when a magenta ball is developed below the lower line and closes only when the balls cross above the lower line again.

take profits and stop loss should be moderate and allow the settings to be changed to tweak the expert. Ihave attached the indicator and am most grateful for your help with this.
If there is anything else that you may need you can post here or email me at delvin.patrick@gmail.com

thanks again bro!
