Indicator buffers

New comment

Hi everyone,

I'm doing an Expert Advisor to trade in EUR/USD but I'm facing some dificulties. I don't understand very much how can I read values from indicator buffers (I read the explanation in the mql5 documentation but it is not clear for me). For example, how can I access the values from macd indicator, the main line and the signal line?

Here is what I have:

int macd = 0;

(...)

macd = iMACD("EURUSD", PERIOD_M30, 12, 26, 9,PRICE_CLOSE);

(...)

ArraySetAsSeries(_macd, true);

(...)

if (CopyBuffer(macd,0,0,20,_macd) < 0){Print("CopyBufferMA1 error =",GetLastError());}

(...)

Now how can I acess the value from the main line and the signal line of macd indicator from the current bar?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Rui

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

Yes I had seen that article but it doesn´t show how can I access the value from an indicator like macd that has 2 values.
