How to use this ZigZag indicator from EA

Hi all,

I have this indicator which I want to use from my EA.

ZigZag.mq4 - original

ZigZagAlex.mq4 - I tried to add one more buffer to read value

I tried to read value with something like this:

alMNAL0 = iCustom(NULL,15,"ZigZagAlex",1,0);

alMNAL1 = iCustom(NULL,15,"ZigZagAlex",1,1);

but I always get alMNAL1 = 0 ... and alMNAL0=21........... (huge number)

Can somebody help me to fix indicator so when it is setup from indicator CrossC = 1; that my alMNAL0 read 1 and for CrossC = -1; that my alMNAL0 is -1 ... in all other situations (when arrow is not printed) that alMNAL0 to be 0.

Thanks in advance

Files:
zigzag.mq4  10 kb
zigzagalex.mq4  7 kb
 

Sorted

Hi,

I solved it by:

alMNAL0 = iCustom(NULL,alperiod,"ZigZag",0,0);

alMNAL1 = iCustom(NULL,alperiod,"ZigZag",1,0);

So I check just last bar if any arrow so I buy or sell.

If I can help to somebody somehow - please let me know.

Hi,

Easiest for me is to have one calling function on the top of START function such as: TakeValues();

and on the bottom to have that function:

void TakeValues()

{

alMNAL0 = iCustom(NULL,alperiod,"ZigZag",0,0);

alMNAL1 = iCustom(NULL,alperiod,"ZigZag",1,0);

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

return(0);

}

So everywhere in code you can use those two global variables

Hope it helps

 

Hi Aleksandar,

All this happen because I'm beginner.

I put those lines (colored red) bottom like this

}

GSignals=GSignalUP+GSignalDOWN;

GSignalsP=GSignals/AllSignal;

GSignalUPP=(GSignalUP/SignalUP);

GSignalDOWNP=(GSignalDOWN/SignalDOWN);

int www=GSignalsP*100 ;

}

void TakeValues()

{

alMNAL0 = iCustom(NULL,alperiod,"ZigZag",0,0);

alMNAL1 = iCustom(NULL,alperiod,"ZigZag",1,0);

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

return(0);

}

BUT I got 4 errors

'alMNAL0' - variable not defined C:\Program Files\NordMarkets MetaTrader\experts\indicators\ZigZagAlex.mq4 (188, 1)

'alperiod' - variable not defined C:\Program Files\NordMarkets MetaTrader\experts\indicators\ZigZagAlex.mq4 (188, 24)

On the top of the script you have to define those three variables like:

int alperiod= 5;

double alMNAL0 = 0.01;

double alMNAL1 = 0.01;
