How to fix the problem of an e-commerce advisor and indicator? - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4

erotin:

Can you tell me what is wrong with the rationing of the lot?

Everything is wrong. Read the article "What checks an EA should pass...". There's a ready-made function there.

Sergey Voytsekhovsky 2019.05.20 12:02 #8452

Done, made an empty template, prepared everything necessary for iCustom() function.

I put the iCrossAD indicator I am interested in into the function.

The function works, it finds the indexes of outermost Up and Down arrows correctly, but the price values at which these arrows were set are wrong.

The code is short, so I will put it right here, I will attach files of this advisor and indicator just in case.

Press Ctrl+D, move the mouse along the lines of the indicator and see in the data window what values its buffers have.

If I understood you correctly, I was looking for a cat in the room that is not there? The array was not filled with prices, but with the values of the indicator at that time? Thanks, I'll rethink it.

One last question - the compiler gives me 2 warnings

sign mismatch Test_iCustom.mq5 79 20

sign mismatch Test_iCustom.mq5 92 20

I can not understand their reason, please tell me. What does "sign mismatch" (Yandex translator) mean???

You might be losing a number sign. Show these lines of code.

for(n=0; n<period_find; n++)

The second one is exactly the same (loops to find non-zero values in Arrows arrays).

Artyom Trishkin 2019.05.20 13:16 #8459

Sergey Voytsekhovsky:

What are the types of variables n and period_find ? The most important thing they didn't show...

Try it:

for(n=0; n<(int)period_find; n++)

Why do you declare a loop variable at the level of the OnTick() handler?

You can do it this way:

for(int n=0; n<(int)period_find; n++)

You can remove n declaration from OnTick() - we don't need it there.

int             n=0;
