Moving Average_applied price

[eduardo fiuza]

My EA (2 MA cross) works fine when I input 0 at applied price (CLOSE).

I want to use FIRST INDICATOR'S DATA at one of the MA then I set 8 but don't works.

What can be wrong? Is not 8?

Thanks.

That idea only works with some of the standard (non-custom) indicators supplied with MetaTrader.

It does not work in code...

Applied price constants. It can be any of the following values:

Constant	Value	Description
PRICE_CLOSE	0	Close price.
PRICE_OPEN	1	Open price.
PRICE_HIGH	2	High price.
PRICE_LOW	3	Low price.
PRICE_MEDIAN	4	Median price, (high+low)/2.
PRICE_TYPICAL	5	Typical price, (high+low+close)/3.
PRICE_WEIGHTED	6	Weighted close price, (high+low+close+close)/4.

To get an indicator's value in an EA, I know of three basic choices:

1. Use the Tecnical Indicator funtions. https://docs.mql4.com/indicators

2. Use iCustom to collect values from an installed custom indicator. https://docs.mql4.com/indicators/iCustom

3. Calculate the values you want in the EA.
