little help with my simple EA
the ea does some trades but only in one direction, it seems it recognize only the reg-lower line. Try Print() to verify the values of the upper-lines.
Try this, and please get back if this is working or not ;.
add #property indicator_buffers 3 on top.
#property indicator_chart_window #property indicator_buffers 3
do all of this on init ()
//IndicatorBuffers(3); // <<== make it a comment SetIndexBuffer(0, Y1); //SetIndexEmptyValue(0, 0); // <<== make it a comment SetIndexBuffer(1, Y2); //SetIndexEmptyValue(1, 0); // <<== make it a comment SetIndexBuffer(2, SD); //SetIndexEmptyValue(2, 0); // <<== make it a comment //SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_NONE, EMPTY, EMPTY, CLR_NONE) ; //<<== not sure if needed //SetIndexStyle(1, DRAW_NONE, EMPTY, EMPTY, CLR_NONE) ; //<<== not sure if needed //SetIndexStyle(2, DRAW_NONE, EMPTY, EMPTY, CLR_NONE) ; //<<== not sure if needed SetIndexLabel (0, "1"); // <<== add this SetIndexLabel (1, "2"); // <<== add this SetIndexLabel (2, "3"); // <<== add this
When I check your LSMA code, it does NOT show anything on data window. So do this : shutdown both your MT and MetaEditor. The start MetaEditor first, compile LSMA, and run MT, and see if this show on Data Window.
median=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,0,0);
reg-lower=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,2,0);
reg-upper=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,1,0);
and did you use the correct parameters or a single variable named parameters.
There are no mind-readers here. POST THE ACTUAL CODE!

Ok i modified sma-lines as you sayd(attached file)
here i call outputs pithfork indicator:
pitchforkup=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"LSMA_Line_RaptorUK",1,68,Red,1,0,1.618,1,0); // this should be reg_upper
pitchforkdown=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"LSMA_Line_RaptorUK",1,68,Green,1,0,1.618,2,0); // this should be reg_lower
and a simple moving average:
MA1 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Moving Averages Red",1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
here there are my sell and buy conditions:
if(MA1 > pitchforkup && OP_SELL <= 3) {....ticket...}
if(MA1 < pitchforkdown && OP_BUY <= 3) {....ticket...}
REVERSE for close conditions
PROBLEM: it opens only sell trade, and it doesnt close trades(only at stop loss or tp)
it seems it recognize at start only reg-upper and then nothing
i've attached also ea if you want to give a look. Thanks
Yo, guys !.
Check his LSMA Line, it draws 3 lines using trendlines object, but there is 3 buffers.
I print the value of it's 3 buffers and all printed zero !.
I think gege79 knows how to codes, but please check the CI first before reply him about iCustom.
Aaaargghhh, let's not waste time ....
iCustom (Symbol (), Period (), "LSMA_Line", IdNum, RPeriod, LineColor, LineWeight, PriceVal, StDev, buffer, mode);

lol i should put onewithzachy instead of RaptorUk as name for modified indicators. mistake...sry :D
read also the post of RaptorUK and WHRoeder again your iCustom function is wrong coded !!!!
it was a sample code :D

i want to use lsma_lines indicators (pitchfork) and a Moving average to make a simple ea. to call the indicator i use
"indicator-assigned-name"=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,0,0);
//---- indicator parameters
IdNum =1;
RPeriod=68;
LineColor=Red;
LineWeight =1;
PriceVal=0;
StDev=1.618;
the problem is that this lsma_lines has 3 lines (3 output) median, reg-lower, and reg-upper, so i tried to do like this
median=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,0,0);
reg-lower=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,2,0);
reg-upper=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"indicator-name",parameters,1,0);
i used this numbers according to what i find in lsma_line.mq4
i continued to write the code normally and i have to call separately this 3 output
the ea does some trades but only in one direction, it seems it recognize only the reg-lower line.
i think is a problem due to the right output calling.
i attach lsma_lines.mq4 so if anyone want to give a look and help me :D
Thanks
