Hi All,

Simple question for you programmers out there.

Currently writing an EA, one of the indicators i'm using is braintrend2sig.

However i'm having difficulty writing the correct Icustom function. Can someone please help me.
(my programing experience is mainly batch files from DOS days, yeah I know i'm still in the past but I do get by only just)

If you could place two line's of code to represent value 1 (Long)& value 2 (short)that would be great.

HERE is the indicator so you know what you working with.

Many Thanks

Jorgka

double iCustom( string symbol, int timeframe, string name, ... , int mode, int shift)

Parameters:

symbol - Symbol the data of which should be used to calculate indicator. NULL means current symbol.
timeframe - Time frame. It can be any of Time frame enumeration values.
name - Custom indicator compiled program name.
... - Parameters set (if needed).
mode - Line index. Can be from 0 to 7.
shift - Shift relative to the current bar (number of periods back), where the data should be taken from.


im guessing something simular to

iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",0,0); //up arrow
iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",1,0); //down arrow

if ya make anything profitable send it my way *wink wink*

It works except is places the trade on every bar. How do you allow the EA to only place the trade when the signal is given. One would think that iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",1,0); //down arrow, iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",1,0); //up arrow would be fine except this does not seem to be the case.

Jorgka

its not
iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",1,0); //down arrow,
iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",1,0); //up arrow
which you typed above
its
iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",0,0); //up arrow
iCustom(NULL, 0, "BrainTrend2Sig",1,0); //down arrow

if you still have problems with it making to many entrys you may want to check out ***THIS*** thread

Here's a copy of the brainsig2test EA, I'v taken out all other config's only to concentrate on these signals.

Now open up 1min chart (just for testing) & run the EA. You'l see what I mean.

All I need it to do is open orders when the signals are given. Buy for blue signal & sell for red signal. If you can help me that would be great. once this is done I can add all other parameters & send you the entire EA which has plenty of potential. This is my only outstanding issue & out of bounds of my programing knowledge.

Cheers

looks fine to me i did change time frame to 0 for current chart before i checked it and removed the 500 reference which i believe just tells the indicator how many bars back to draw. tested on 30 min. the backtester will enter a crapload of times on one bar here and there so sometimes u have to add some kinda code that will limit when it enters.

Cheers Lowphat. here's the ea. I'm currently testing the EA now please let me know on your thoughts please, cause I am only a newbie in trading & programming so your ideas will be welcomed.

The Idea is.

Trading only on 15 min's

Buy

Juice > 0
Nina Yellow > Blue
KI > 0
BBands = Green
Braintrendsig has given Blue arrow

Exit when Brainstop is red.

Sell

Juice > 0
Nina Yellow < Blue
KI < 0
BBands = orange
Braintrendsig has given red arrow

Exit when brainstop is Blue.

May the pip shower on us all
