Double MA signal generator port from mq4 to mq5...

New comment
 

Hello All,

I am still struggling to port what I perceive as useful mq4 indicators to mq5. I had help on my last attempt but chose quite a complicated indicator and 'am saving it for later'.

This indicator is far simpler and I can tell from the debug I have included it is locating signals and processing data. All good. Except that it displays nothing 🙄.

I don't need to see the MA's on the chart so have made the MA buffers for calculation only, so was expecting to just see the trend arrows.

Please will someone take a look at what I have done and let me know what stupidity I have committed/ or what I have omitted; I will be very grateful.

I have attached both the original mq4 & my updated mq5 file.

With my best regards, ESB.

2 Moving Averages is a custom MQL4 indicator that uses two moving averages (fast and slow) to identify potential trend changes and generate buy or sell signals based on crossover points. It enhances signal reliability by optionally integrating support and resistance levels, helping traders confirm entry and exit zones. This tool is suitable for trend-following strategies and works across multiple time frames.
 

OK, I am glad no one has looked at this yet; I found an omission that was in the mql4 version, spcing a few points using _Point, MQL4 uses Point.

So I have arrows appearing, and I have added in MA lines to the chart make visual debugging easier; it is giving some very odd signals and I suspect my limit/rates total code.

WMBR, ESB.
