... I tried the hole night , but I didn't find a solution!!! How can I get my iCostum() get running. I want to integrat the DSS Indikator into my EA with iCostum().
"DSS.mq4" is in --> C:\programme\MT4\experts\indicators
Doe's anybody know, were my problem is? Thanks a lot
1. Would you please edit your comment and post your code using SRC button. It will make a lot of easier to read your code.
2. You said you tried this the whole night, where did you tried this : Strategy Tester or live/demo market ?
thank you, phi.nuts.
@ 1. the code
The EA is a litle bit longer. in my question I have tried to limit to the basics, to ask not so complicated. The EA will issue a purchase order, for example, after the DSS indicator in the 5 minutes chart and in the 1 min chart has turned.
@ 2.
I tried this with the strategy Tester with a demoversion in DAX30 market.
Thanks for you help.

- Use SRC
- Print out the value and GetLastError() so you find out WHY.
- In the tester, do you have M5 history
- Did you compile DSS.mq4
- See
Detailed explanation of iCustom - MQL4 forum to make your calls readable.

@1. Use SRC
--> I hope I did it right.
I know, it is without SL and not a right TP ... but when I tested the EA from 12. to 19.12.2012, it bought several tims when the DSS turned down in 5 Minutes DAX 30 chart. ... But it shouldn't ;(.
@2. Print out the value and GetLastError() so you find out WHY.
I don't know, what I should do, sorry.
@ 3. In the tester, do you have M5 history
What does this mean. I don't know, what I should do, sorry. I only work in MT4.
@4. Did you compile DSS.mq4
Yes.
@5. See Detailed explanation of iCustom - MQL4 forum to make your calls readable.
I mean, I did it correct ..., but I don't know accectly. Sorry, I dont have so much experiences in MT4-Programming.
I only would have a buy signal if the DSS increases in the 5-min chart and the 1-min chart. Could now anybody help me? Thank you.
