iCustom

[TheNinjaTrader]

Hey guys first time posting here, so I've found an indicator which i like that i wanted to use on my expert advisor. When i use the iCustom to bring the indicator onto the chart it works by using -

void OnTick()

{

      int indicator = iCustom (_Symbol,_Period,"donchian_channels");

 }

simple enough, however im stuck as to getting the values for the 3 bands, im not sure whether i should be using the copybuffer to give the arrays that are on the original script a value or...@?

completely hit a wall here guys so any help would be useful, been at this for a while and adding custom indicators is the final step to having what i need going, for referance the indicator that im using for the bands is here:

Its a great indicator and is exactly how the original indicator works. I really need help getting the values of the 3 bands, thanks guys!
