magic6666: i tried use icustom in my ex but it don't give any data, i will be very thankful if you say me where is my wrong. signal_green=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Signal Line", Signal_line_period, Signal_line_method, Signal_line_price, 0, 1); STV4=iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Trend Signal", FS30Range, FilterPeriod, MartFiltr, PriceConst, MaPeriod, MaMode, LevelsCross, Countbars, true, ArrowUp, ArrowDn, 4, 1); all indicators show their Data in Data window , how I can take data from Data window and don't use iCustom ? :-/

How should we now wether your iCustom calls are correct when you don't provide either indicator's code? What is _LastError after each call? False assumption; have you looked at the code? The indicator can decide not to show buffer(s) in the data window, only on the chart. SetIndexLabel(0, NULL); And a indicator can show a buffer in the data window but not in the chart. #property indicator_color2 CLR_NONE You can't. Just get the value of the indicator into the EA and do what you want with it. It isn't hard. See Detailed explanation of iCustom - MQL4 forum if (Volume[0]>1) For a new bar test, Bars is unreliable (a refresh/reconnect can change number of bars on chart,) volume is unreliable (miss ticks,) Price is unreliable (duplicate prices and The == operand. - MQL4 forum.) Always use time. I disagree with making a new bar function, because it can only be called once per tick. A variable can be tested multiple times.
