on candle close after arrow signal
 
Abubakar Saidu:
a buy signal arrow appears on bullish candle and disappear when the candle becomes bearish... it will keep blinking if the candle goes up and down..
is there a way to edit the coding for the arrow to show after the candle closed

I have not looked at your code in depth but try replacing

 for( shift = CountBars-SSP; shift>=0; shift-- )

with

 for( shift = CountBars-SSP; shift>0; shift-- )

This is only a suggestion for a quick solution, I would do it a different way if I had the time.

 

Don't double post.

I have deleted your other topic.

This is very selfish of you as people can spend time replying only to find that you have already been given the answer.

You want help, but please don't think that your problem is so important that you can flood the forum.

 
Am sorry for that... i thought the forums are different.

Wow...i don't know how i will pay you back..

Thank  you... thank you... thank you...

 
Hello... thanks a lot for your help...
the guide you gave me worked..

(*I have not looked at your code in depth but try replacing

for( shift = CountBars-SSP; shift>=0; shift-- )

with

for( shift = CountBars-SSP; shift>0; shift-- )

but on back testing The EA, it will not open any order
The EA will only open orders after i put back the (=) in the code

i also created another EA using the indicator without the(=) still did not work... but worked when i replaced the (=)..

Thanks a lot for your help...

this [for( shift = CountBars-SSP; shift>0; shift-- ] and [for( shift = CountBars-SSP; shift>=1; shift-- ]
also seems the same

If the last parameter of your iCustom() call is '0', you'll have to change it to '1'.
