iCustom return EMPTY_VALUE at EA

[[Deleted]]

Just after I have made my custom ind. I start working on EA to check it.

the EA run and made 0 orders...

After debug I saw that iCustom always return the EMPTY_VALUE, except of the first tick.

for conclusion iCustom return the value it should only once at the beginning, then it returns EMPTY_VALUE .

I assume I do something wrong with EA code, but looking over samples of EA I can't find my mistake.

I would appreciate if anyone knows what could be the reason for that.

Thanks all.
