Hi. You are making a few errors defining buffers and using the iMAonArray function. You also need an explicit check for zero divide situations.
Anyway here is what results. Any pointers on its usage?

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+From what I see in terms of usage, this indicator is showing some key pivots where some kind of reversal is going to happen, using it in conjunction with other tools could make it usefull... my question is, does it repaint ? did you try it on intraday data like 4 hours 1 hour charts ? its interesting to see it, would be nice to test it... cheers Walter.
I don't know if this indicator can make money or not, but wouldn't it better if hte histogram has 2 colors that can show whether the trend is up or down?

indicator does not refresh
Hi,
The indicator still does not refresh. The current histogram does not form until after the candle closes.

Traderit should need some modification again I think
===================
i like the colour change idea AND it still doesnt update
but im not very good with Imaonarray stuff
