Can someone please help me understand why I don't get any Drawing on my chart with this mql5 custom indicator. The arrays show de necessary values... Please help.. I am missing something...

 

What are you getting? Why are you getting? Why are you ignoring the result? 

   PlotIndexGetInteger(2,PLOT_ARROW,160);
   PlotIndexGetInteger(3,PLOT_ARROW,160);
   PlotIndexGetInteger(7,PLOT_ARROW,160);
   PlotIndexGetInteger(8,PLOT_ARROW,160);

Sorry william, you speak in riddles to me...
 
Erik Bakker: Can someone please help me understand why I don't get any Drawing on my chart with this mql5 custom indicator. The arrays show de necessary values... Please help.. I am missing something...

Then please show screenshots of what you are getting and explain in detail what you are expecting.

Also, why are you using this ...

if(iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,3)<iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,2) && iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,3)<iLow(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,1))
{
   Start_FVG_Bull[i] = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,3);

... when the data has already been passed to you by the OnCalculte() parameters ...

if( high[3] < close[2] && high[3] < low[1] )
{
   Start_FVG_Bull[i] = time[3];

Also, use Prints() very sparingly and in a controlled way in Indicators, or preferably use the Debugger in MetaEditor.

The way you are doing it is going to make your indicator extremely slow and fill up the logs quickly and create tremendously large log files.

Look at the code in #1 very carefully. The key word was "get".

 
Have you started with MQL5/Indicators/Examples/Fractals? If not start with this code and change it step by step to your requiremebts.
