How to make an ea using this indicator?

New comment
 
Hello, I need some advice, I want to make an EA using this center of gravity indicator.
I want to use it as a function so I could call it anywhere in my EA. I'm a newbie in programmer's world, and I find some difficulties in it.
Please someone help me, thank you.

Hi, i have implemented the Center of Gravity indicator into a function that can be used in a EA or Script. Please see attached file for example....

kind regards

Hans

 

If you have it as an indicator, you could use the "iCustom" function

to retrieve data from your indicator.
