Correct syntax for use of Indicators as Resources
Hi All,
I'm not a great programmer so was looking for advice. I am using the Resource function to include my indicators in my Expert Advisor but I cannot get it working correct.. can someone help?
In my code I am using this:
Can someone help me with the correct syntax in all the sections please?
Thanks
I would code it like this
#resource "\\indicators\\heikenashi.ex4"
string HeikenAshi="::Indicators\\heikenashi.ex4"
After the OnTick section I use
void OnTick() {
double heikenashi=iCustom(_Symbol,_Period, HeikenAshi ,0,0);
And there is further code:
double heikenashi(string symbol, int timeframe, string mode, int shift) {
if(symbol == "NULL" || symbol == "Current") {
if(mode == "Open") {
return(NormalizeDouble(iCustom(NULL, timeframe, HeikenAshi , 0,0,0,0, 2, shift), 6));
}
if(mode == "Close") {
return(NormalizeDouble(iCustom(NULL, timeframe, HeikenAshi , 0,0,0,0, 3, shift), 6));
}
if(mode == "High") {
return(NormalizeDouble(MathMax(iCustom( NULL, timeframe, HeikenAshi , 0,0,0,0, 0, shift), iCustom( NULL, timeframe, HeikenAshi , 0,0,0,0, 1, shift)), 6));
}
if(mode == "Low") {
return(NormalizeDouble(MathMin(iCustom( NULL, timeframe, HeikenAshi , 0,0,0,0, 0, shift), iCustom( NULL, timeframe, HeikenAshi , 0,0,0,0, 1, shift)), 6));
}

}
Thank you .. i will try.. will string HeikenAshi get confused with double heikenashi ? Just want to ask before i edit my code

Just embed the other indicator(s) inside your indicator/EA. Add the CI(s) to your code as a resource.
