Indicator not working with MT2 trading

Hellcat -_- 2020.09.25 10:37

Hello, I have an indicator that I'm trying to use with the MT2 trading connector. However MT2 is not recognizing the signal even though I select the correct buffers. can someone please check it and let me know if something should be changed on the code?

The way that indicator works is that if the price breaks a S/R level it displays and alert and an arrow in the chart. The alert and the arrows are displayed but Mt2 doesn't receive the signal. The buffers that I select are the 2 and the 3. Below you can see the code.

See the code below? From the indicator all we needed was the parameters. You need to post the iCustom code that you use to read the indicator. That is what your question is about.

No, you were not. A moderator told you “in future please post in the correct section. I will move your topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.”

The original post still exists, and as been answered.

Sorry I taught I had deleted this post before posting the new one. I now see that it's still here. In regards to your concern MT2 is a plattaform that was released not too long ago that allows MT4 to be connected to binary options brokers.
