I created an EA for strategy testing, it has no error or warnings, yet it can't detect Horizontal lines, or Moving Average.
more explanation: the EA is supposed to open a trade when price touch Horizontal lines i draw on the chart, or Moving average.... .
same rpoblem happened when i created an indicator to trigger an alert sound when price touches a Horizonal line.
EA code is attached below.
Your declaration of the moving average indicator is wrong. It should be declared in the Oninit function and accessed using a buffer.
You can find a good example in the mql5 link below to correct any mistakes .
