using a functioan of a class into an expert

[mohsen bahrami]

hi taders

i want to use function CheckCandlestickPattern() of aCandlePatterns.mqh

and i wrote

#include "aCandlePatterns.mqh" in my expert.

how can i use the functions of this class

for example

bool Buy_Condition_1=CheckCandlestickPattern(CANDLE_PATTERN_MORNING_STAR);

is not correct and the error is:

'CheckCandlestickPattern' - function not defined  .

shoud i define another class or other else?

thank you alot

hi traders.

i want to make an EA based on candle patterns and i have candle pattern functions in aCandlePatterns.mqh (attached below).

i called it by:

#include "aCandlePatterns.mqh"

and 

define a new 

CCandlePattern   cc;

and i want to use "CheckPatternMorningStar()" function into my EA as follows:

bool Buy_Condition_1=cc.CheckPatternMorningStar();  

is my solution correct?

Well... i had a hard time trying to answer the same question. If i try to do any similar code, i will receive an null pointer error in debug mode. Anyone knows how to solve this?

 Thanks in advance!

Hello leandrocsj,

could you please be more specific about your doubt? What exactly is the problem?

I would advise you to create a new topic for your question, instead of keep posting your problem inside this topic.

Regards,

My question is how to do the check candle pattern: 

 (test.CheckPatternAllBullish() == true) 

without raising a null pointer error.

If you think it's better to open a new topic i can do this.
