I have an indicator that uses iMA along with iATR to generate a new indicator; I am able to attach this to a chart without any error. Handle = iMA(_Symbol, _Period,...). There is no error in handle generation. I try to use this indicator in my EA with the iCustom function with proper iCustom(_Symbol, _Period...) with proper parameters of this indicator in proper order. I am using a Renko chart, and the symbol is a custom symbol with time period 1. I checked this symbol read by the indicator as well as by the EA, and in both places the symbol read and the time period are the same. But for some reason I get the following error when I attach my EA to the chart. I am attaching the indicator to the same chart without any issue. The error is as follows:
