simple iCustom question
Hi,
i m trying to call iCustom of a Pivot Points custom indicator that i ve build.
This PP cusom indicator got Daily, Weekly and Monthy Pivot Lines that i m drawing on the chart using objects so i do not need to use any buffers. I use only some global double series of variables like Weekly_P, Weekly_RS1 etc. My question is do i need to use a Buffer and setindexbuffer in order to call my custom PP indicator from an EA or another script?

Why not add your Indicator code into your EA ?
well i m trying to gain time thats why.
the problem with GetObject function, although its working, is that in the following while loop were i m scanning the bars i cannot specify for specific bar to return the value of that object
/********************************* MAIN WHILE LOOP ****************************
while ( (i<=candles) )
{
param=ObjectGet("PivotLine",OBJPROP_PRICE1);
log("param:"+param);
i++;
}the above will return the same result for all the i bars. And thats normal. With iCustom you can specify the Bar of the calling indicator.
Any way to overcome this?

How many Pivot Lines do you have ? are they Horizontal Lines or Trend Lines ?
param=ObjectGet("PivotLine",OBJPROP_PRICE1);That is ONE line. You need to get all HLINES.
Well they go all the way across the chart from bar 0 to bar Bars . . . how do you know which one you want ?
i know cause of the while i loop... the var i gives me the bar that i need to get.
That is ONE line. You need to get all HLINES.
no i do not need the other HLINES. My main problem is that i get the price of the PivotLine object for a very specific time/bar and i m not able to scan through the chart for every single bar to get that object price. In the ObjectGet function there is no shift parameter. That is what i m looking for.
i know cause of the while i loop... the var i gives me the bar that i need to get.
Translation: I am looking for the hight a building last Tuesday and there is no function that takes a date. Of course there is no function that takes a date because the hight last Tuesday is the same hight today.
You say want the price of a line for a specific time/bar. It is the same price for every bar. It is a horizontal line.
But if you insist
double HLineGet(string h, int shift=0){ return( ObjectGet(h,OBJPROP_PRICE1) ); }
