iCustom problem

Hello, sorry if I make mistakes, English is not my language.

Could you help me put this indicator in EA?
Buy when the price above the fence higher and sell when the price closing at its lowest?

If someone would help me it would be nice

It uses Objects not Buffers so you don't need to use iCustom.

Thank you very much Raptor UK

You need to search for these objects

BoxBreakOut_High
BoxBreakOut_Low

on the chart in your EA and get their values.
