[[Deleted]]

Hi, and thanks ahead for your help!

Im trying to create a function for mq4 that will count the number of a MA crossing over a period of time or bars and save that number to a buffer for a later use..

can please someone help me on this?

Thanks again

Hey WHRoeder thanks for your answer, see i dont have a code yet...i can show you just what i got so far:

#property indicator_chart_window
#property indicator_buffers 2







// exported variables


// local variables
int ObjCount = 0;  // count of all objects created on the chart, allows creation of objects with unique names
int current = 0; // variable points to current bar

string TextObj8 = "";
double Buffer8[];
string TextObj6 = "";
double Buffer6[];


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |

int init()
{
    if (false) ObjectsDeleteAll();      // clear the chart
    IndicatorShortName("Freq");
    IndicatorDigits(5);
    IndicatorBuffers(2);
    
    SetIndexBuffer(0, Buffer8);
    
    ObjCount += 1;
    TextObj8 = "IChart_" + ObjCount;
    ObjectCreate(TextObj8, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
    ObjectSet(TextObj8, OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
    ObjectSet(TextObj8, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 10);
    ObjectSet(TextObj8, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 150);
    
    SetIndexBuffer(1, Buffer6);
    
    ObjCount += 1;
    TextObj6 = "IChart_" + ObjCount;
    ObjectCreate(TextObj6, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
    ObjectSet(TextObj6, OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
    ObjectSet(TextObj6, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 10);
    ObjectSet(TextObj6, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 150);
    
    
    return(0);
