How to get data from Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear] in an MT4 expert?

[Balint Rubovszky]

I have downloaded this free Squeeze Momentum Indicator MT4 indicator from https://forex-station.com. It is an adaptation from PineScript to MQL4.

My problem is that I don't know how to use the iCustom() function to obtain the "histogram height" and the "squeeze status", when coding an expert advisor in MT4.

Please, help me!

Yes, I expect you to help me. This is a general problem, and of great interest, since this indicator is the most popular one on TradingView. My question is about how to use the iCustom() function for such an important case. I count on the goodwill of people. If I was professional in coding, and I knew all those technical details you mentioned above, I would obviously not ask for help here. Please, try to be more understanding.

1. You have still not properly attached the source code file on your initial post.
   
2. To learn how to use the iCustom function please refer to the documentation.
3. If you need help with your code, then please show your code attempting to use it for this specific case.
   

Here is the usual "boiler-plate" answer ...

• Usually people who can't code don't receive free help on this forum.
• If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community. Use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.
• To learn MQL4 programming, you can research the many available Articles on the subject, or examples in the Codebase, as well as reference the online Documentation.
  
• If you do not want to learn to code, that is not a problem. You can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (also sometimes free). However, recommendations or suggestions for Market products are not allowed on the forum, so you will have to do your own research.
  
• Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.

There also seems to be a CodeBase publication for the mentioned indicator ...

Yes, thank you. I have also found that CodeBase publication a few hours ago, and the best would be if I could get help for that one, since it seems to be more professional than the one I was referring to. I am also on the way of learning PineScript and MQL4 indicator coding, but I would be grateful if someone could help me with this issue, because it will take time to master it. Currently I am only able to code MQL4 expert advisors.
