Thanks but I can not find anything wrong...no errors, single simulation is ok....it s liek the problem is on multithread....
In few words, i d like to have different timeframe of stochastic indicator in only 1 indicator
Here is my indicator, any idea?
Thanks

tradatore: All is fine but if I launch the genetic Optimizer nothings happens Or I get an error OnInit()...How can I get more informations or trying to solve it?
You posted an indicator. There is nothing to optimize on an indicator. You can only optimize an EA that trades.

I know, I posted the indicator because it seems to be the problem...Launching a test with EA all is fine, but optimizing does not work...
if you want to try, this is the EA that uses the indicator. Obviously I am learning so i used pieces of codes of others. My goal was having an indicator that can give me some indicators I need.
Thanks

Hi to all,
I've created 2 custom indicators that use other indicators.
In my EA I m using the 2 custom indicators.
All is fine but if I launch the genetic Optimizer nothings happens Or I get an error OnInit()...How can I get more informations or trying to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
