ADX Cross Indicator used in custom EA

Hello,

This is my first post. I am programming a custom EA that uses ADX Cross indicator which prints in the chart arrows to signal buys and sells. Like the following:

I added another buffer to the Indicator in order to be able to read the signal, which was one of three: BUY, SELL or NOTHING.

I run the backtest on a chart and the signals where not the same as painted in the chart. The original code of the Indicator is the following:

My EA is executed each time a bar closes, not each tick. And the signals where different, and late. Why can that be?

Should I extract the logic from the Indicator to the EA?

Thank you
