About Shifting Value Adjustment

[Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal]

Can we use Indicators with  it's shifting value less than 0 to make custom indicators ? .

Generally Moving avrage indicator has shifting value adjestment in default settings. (default value is 0) but Indicators like RSI & ADX hasn't shifting value adjestment in default settings

so, If we use RSI or ADX with shifting value like  -3  to make a custom indicator, Will it work on charts without errors ?

I guess so :) It is up to you to handle errors such as there's not enough bar for calculation and shifting.

Did you check the codebase?

1. Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal: Can we use Indicators with  it's shifting value less than 0 to make custom indicators ? .

   Does it provide a shifting value?
   

2. Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal: Generally Moving avrage indicator has shifting value adjestment in default settings. (default value is 0) 

   So what?
   

3. Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal: RSI & ADX hasn't shifting value adjestment in default settings\

   Again so what?
   

4. Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal: so, If we use RSI or ADX with shifting value like  -3  

   They do not have a shift parameter as you said in № 3.
   

5. Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal: , If we use RSI or ADX with shifting value like  -3  to make a custom indicator,\

   Read your values, and shift your indicator.
   

6. Hapu Arachchilage Tharindu Lakmal: Will it work on charts without errors ? 

   Only if you code it properly.

Bro., 

I'm using EA Builder site for make indicators. and then I read the codes of them to learn the meanings and how them work. but I'm new to coding MQL4 language. 

for example, EA builder site has an option to set Shifting value for ADX and RSI and when checking for code set, shifting value set for those indicators. 

thats why I got this question

You will get something quick, but then you will spend a much longer time trying to get it right, than if you learned the language up front, and then just wrote it.

1. Since you haven't learned MQL4/5, therefor there is no common language for us to communicate.
   If we tell you what you need, you can't code it.
   If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
   We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using Code button) and state the nature of your problem, but we are not going to debug your hundreds of lines of code. You are essentially going to be on your own.
