[Nandoy Gradi Ngalubenge]

Hello everybody,

i'm a developer, i've just arrived on mql5 language,

i would like to practice on the language, so i've encounter a problem

in the mt5 UI it's possible to merge two indicators in a same window, i'm wondering about  how can i know that for example, the RSI has cross the MACD indicator?

Placing the RSI and MACD on the same window is just a visual or "cosmetic" convenience. You can't detect the "crossing" of those two indicators because they use different scales.

RSI has values between 0 and 100, and the MACD has values in the quote prices. Their scales are not compatible.

You should NEVER look for crossings between the two. That is foolish.
