Implementing TrendLine with EA

 

Would it be possible for someone to explain how i may be able to implement a trendline within my EA?

I've tried looking for custom indicators and trying to use the setindexbuffer but cant seem to find a buffer which is related to a trendline.

Would it be possible to manually draw a trendline and then code something within my EA to recognise it?

I literally want to add a if statement where if the close[0]> trendline then execute a trade but have been searching for a very long time. Any help will be much appreciated.

  1. yes. possible to recognize any object (drawn manually / drawn by EA) within the EA.
 

I think I've made progress. Would you be able to tell me if I'm correct?

I plan to use a custom indicator to draw trend lines then i would add into the EA this: 

  double trenddown = ObjectGetValueByShift("UpperWeekLine",0);
  double trendup = ObjectGetValueByShift("LowerWeekLine",0);

the indicator draws trend lines and uses the string which i inserted.

this should work right?
