Using iSar

[jamesmean]

Hello,

 

I am trying to use a confirmation for iSar with the following code:

 

(iSAR(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,.02,.2) < PRICE_CLOSE) 

 

However, although everything compiles directly, the program still trades even if the daily SAR price  is above or below the close price.  Did I misunderstand this line of coding?

 

 Thanks!

Hi, please, refer to CopyBuffer() function for some info about how to use indicators in MT5.

This forum is about MT5/mql5, if your question is about MT4/mql4 please use the mql4.com forum.

Otherwise you can read the documentation about iSAR and some articles, this one for example https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/35
