iCustom always returns empty value

[Michal Brauner]

Hi,

I made a simple custom indicator and I'm trying to use it in my EA. But there is a problem with loading values from indicator - iCustom always returns an empty value (tester, demo). When I show graph in EA tester, indicator is showed correct.

There is OnTick method from my EA:

void OnTick()
{
   static int SRStartArrowCounter = 0;
    
   double SR_Low = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_M15, "SR_Levels", 5, 30, 0, 0);
   double SR_High = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_M15, "SR_Levels", 5, 30, 1, 0);
   double SR_Low_length = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_M15, "SR_Levels", 5, 30, 6, 0);
   double SR_High_length = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_M15, "SR_Levels", 5, 30, 7, 0);
   
   Print("SR_Low="+SR_Low+", SR_High="+SR_High);
   Print("SR_Low_length="+SR_Low_length+", SR_High_length="+SR_High_length);
   
   if ((SR_Low_length==5 && SR_High_length>=5) || (SR_High_length==5 && SR_Low_length>=5))
   {
      SRStartArrowCounter++;
      ObjectCreate("SRStartArrowCounter"+SRStartArrowCounter, OBJ_ARROW, 0, Time[0], SR_Low);
   }
}

I attached a screen of my Metatrader and custom indicator.

Thanks for your answers and for your help.

angevoyageur: Hello, thanks for your answer.

I'm quite confused about versions. I'm using MetaTrader 4.00, but MetaEditor is in version 5.00 (last update). Because of MetaEditor version I've tried to post my question here.

I'll try to post it on mql4.com :)
