4 EMA bot

[Mathias Lisborg]

Hello guys.

I am in the process of developing a bot for MT5 but I simply cannot get it to work as I want.

It sells when it is above 55 and buys when it is below. 

It should make a buy when it crosses EMA 55 with EMA 8, 13 and 21 and vice versa.

THANKS! :*

You are incorrectly using the iMA function. It returns a handle, not a value. You have to use CopyBuffer to get the values.

Please follow the links and reference the documentation.

iMA	Moving Average

CopyBuffer

Gets data of a specified buffer from a specified indicator into an array
