MQL4 iCustom / I do not receive the right value

[Luca Minoi]

Hi guys, thanks in advance for your time. 

I looked for the solution for a while, but nothing was right for me. Ill attach an Indicator. The problem is that iCustom return Empity Value (2147483647). 

That-s my simple code:

ask in MQL4 forum.

BTW, I don't think Empty_Value is equal to INT_MAX !!!

Hi,

So you would get data from buffer 0 & 1,others dont have any value:

   K_MTF_1 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_H1,"MTF Stochastic v21",0,1);
   D_MTF_1 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_H1,"MTF Stochastic v21",1,1);

   K_MTF_2 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_H1,"MTF Stochastic v21",0,2);
   D_MTF_2 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_H1,"MTF Stochastic v21",1,2);

Regards.

You forgot the extern of the indicator
