Need some help with iCustom

New comment
 

Dear forum, I need some help,


I have a Custom Indicator 'Strength EUR' and I want to use this in my EA. It is a simple currency strength indicator solely for EUR. 


I know i need to use iCustom and put in the relevant parameters as well. However I am still not able to manage to get the right output. (the result = 0 while it should be 18 or so).

Can someone help me what I do wrong. I am missing someting. 

What I want to do is compare BufferEUR[0] (current strength) with BufferEUR[1] (previous bar) and make an signal of it. 

The code beneath give a result 0... 

I have attached the indicator code aswell.

int Test = iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,"StrengthEUR",Periode,0,0);
You should call it with correct Periode not P and you will get current bar value and exact indicator name

Thanks for the reply but still get the result 0. 

Any other suggestions?
