I removed decompiled code from your attachment.

Similar indicator on the forum (as ex4 files only sorry):

#9923
#9926

Sorry about that, here is the .ex4 version. Could someone tell me how I could write an indicator which will use the iCustom function to read the Trend Direction and Force Index indicator's value and play a sound if it reaches 1 or -1?

Need help indentifying indicator MQL5 resistance & support Any questions from newcomers

Please post the original MQ4 file.

Please post the original MQ4 file.

Here is the file, it would be great if we could add a sound alert any time the indicator value reaches -1 or 1.

Hi, does anyone have the Market_Statistics indicator for Metatrader 5? The indicator of which I speak I found it on Metatrader 4, it is Vwap and relative standard deviations. Can you help me ?

VWAP bands

www.mql5.com

This indicator is similar to Bollinger bands, but it uses volume weighted average as the central value of the bands.

Thanks William but that's not what I indicated, it's similar but not the same. It does not use Bollinger bands but standard deviations. I have the indicator on my MT4 but I wanted the same on the MT5. If I provide the code, can someone translate it for the Metatrader 5?

This is the code on the MT4. Does Anyone know how to translate it for the Metatrader 5? I would be very 
grateful
