Need Help Reading SSRC Indicator Using icustom Function

New comment
 

Dear Forum,

I've been struggling to read the attached SSRC indicator values without success for days. The value returned by my code is different from what is displayed in the Data Window with same timeframe as the code. For some unknown reasons, the three values are the same and different from the actual SSRC indicator on the chart.

I have used icustom function without problem before and painfully I can't figure out what is wrong with the below code. Please, help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong!

      
      int shift = 0;
      const int totalBars = 100;
      const int snakeRange = 21;
      const double filterPeriod = 21;
      const double martFiltr = 2.0;
      const int priceConst = 6;

      const string SSRC_INDICATOR = "Custom_Path\\SSRCR";
      
      static double currentSSRC =  iCustom(NULL, _primaryTradingTimeframe, SSRC_INDICATOR,totalBars,snakeRange,filterPeriod,martFiltr,priceConst, 0, shift);
      static double previous1SSRC = iCustom(NULL, _primaryTradingTimeframe, SSRC_INDICATOR,totalBars,snakeRange,filterPeriod,martFiltr,priceConst,0, shift+1);
      static double previous2SSRC = iCustom(NULL, _primaryTradingTimeframe, SSRC_INDICATOR,totalBars,snakeRange,filterPeriod,martFiltr,priceConst,0, shift+2);

      Print("previous2SSRC = ", previous2SSRC, " | previous1SSRC = ", previous1SSRC, " | currentSSRC = ", currentSSRC);

Open "«DataFolder»\MQL4\Indicators\«Custom_path»\" and see that you do actually have a ssrcr.ex4 in there.

Yes, it's actually in the target path. The EA was able to load the indicator and read it, the only problem I'm having is that it's not reading the right values.

Thanks, I got the point you're making. 

I extracted the above code out of my EA and attached another copy of the same SSCR indicator in question. The EA was able to load the indicator and read it, the only problem I'm having is that it's not reading the right values.

 
Did you remove the static? Show all of the relevant code and the output you got if it doesn't work.

Yes, thanks. 

I eventually discovered that the problem is with the indicator and it does not worth the headache!

Cheers.
