iCustom for Heiken Ashi

[libby000]

I am looking for the Close of the Heinken Ashi.

Thought I have everything right, but gives me the wrong value 

   double HAClose;
   color  HColor1 = Red;
   color  HColor2 = LawnGreen;
   color  HColor3 = Red;
   color  HColor4 = LawnGreen;
   HAClose = iCustom(0,PERIOD_M1,"Heiken Ashi", HColor1,HColor2,HColor3,HColor4,3, 0);

Any ideas?

iCustom does not work like that, it returns the handle of the indicator for further use.

So normally get the handle just once in OnInit.

Is this MQL4 or 5?

1. On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

2. You should encapsulate your iCustom calls to make your code self-documenting.

Sorry, thought we could post both here.  How do I know whether this is MQL4 or MQL5 section?

1. Look at the link before clicking on one.
2. Hover over the up arrow at the top and bottom left (of every page): and read the pop up text or look at the URL.
3. Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

   Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.
