I want to use the SR_MTF_Eli in an EA :

In the EA,I write :

double Red=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"SR_MTF_Eli",PERIOD_D1,1500,1,0);

but when I compile, I have the message "Red - variable expected"

What is the mistake?

Thanks for help.

 

"Red" (with capital "R") is a reserved word for color in metatrader. Change it to "red" and it will work
