Buffers request doesnt match the buffers value
No file was attached. Besides the indicator code, you will also need to show your EA's code. Also provide log output demonstrating your issue and screenshots may also be helpful.
Hi I dont understand why do you need EA code to revise an indicator. EA just request its buffer value, its quite general.
Hi
If the values are visible in the data window you should be able to get them by calling iCustom function.
Just need to figure out which buffer return which value and use it properly in the code.

Hi, lets say I want to find a monthly low value for the last month. The indicator used an loop function on the daily low value DayMin of the last month to find the monthly low ExtMapBuffer3[shift+i] , but when I request the buffer value ExtMapBuffer3[shift+i] , it only returns the value of DayMin, not the actual ExtMapBuffer3[shift+i] value. Why is that?
int start() {
int shift, i, CurDay, BarCount;
double DayMax, DayMin;
double DayOpen, DayClose, Avg;
for (shift=Bars-1; shift>=0; shift--) {
int timeFrameIndex = iBarShift(NULL, timeFrame, Time[shift], true);
if (CurDay != iTime(NULL, timeFrame, timeFrameIndex)) {
for (i=BarCount; i>=0; i--) {
ExtMapBuffer1[shift+i] = DayMax;
ExtMapBuffer2[shift+i] = (DayMax+DayMin)/2;
ExtMapBuffer3[shift+i] = DayMin;
}
CurDay = iTime(NULL, timeFrame, timeFrameIndex);
BarCount = 0;
DayMax = 0;
DayMin = 1000;
DayOpen = Open[shift];
}
if (DayMax < High[shift]) {
DayMax = High[shift];
}
if (DayMin > Low[shift]) {
DayMin = Low[shift];
}
BarCount = BarCount + 1;
}
for (i=BarCount; i>=0; i--) {
ExtMapBuffer1[shift+i] = DayMax;
ExtMapBuffer2[shift+i] = (DayMax+DayMin)/2;
ExtMapBuffer3[shift+i] = DayMin;
}
DayClose = Close[0];
Avg = (DayMax+DayMin)/2;
return(0);
}

Look,
Fernando is one of the most respectful and knowledgeable.
If he asked for your EA, there's a reason behind it.
From your explanation it does sounds like, as Fernando suspects, an issue with the EA and not the indicator.
Show the code for your ea.

Hello all, I am new here and looking for some help.
In the attached file "Highlow custom.mq4" you'll find the source code of an indicator I downloaded. It has 3 buffers (buffer 0 1 2) which provide the high middle and low of selcted timeframe.
My problem is when my ea requests the buffer value, it returns only the daily high middle low values. It cant return any weekly or monthly values even in the data window the correct values are shown.
I can see from the souce code there is a loop function to get the weekly or monthly high low values from the array of daily high low values. But I dont know how to change to code so I can request the weekly or monthly high low values.
Can anyone kindly help me the revise the code so the weekly or monthly value can be correctly requested.
Mnay thanks for looking into it.
