speciale!!!

Yes you can. check it from your metatrader data windows (contrl+D)

When the line color changes, is there a delay of 2 bars (2-shift lag)?

Is this the intended behavior?

Hi friend. Its a Trend indicate not a Trend prediction. Like bolinger Bands or MA trend. candles and price must shows the trend change behavior to shows you the trend changed or not.

Thank you for your wonderful indicator.

When I converted it into an EA, I initially used iCustom with shift=1 for BUY-SELL trend color changes, but it missed the SELL entries.

When I switched to shift=2 , it worked perfectly! Is this an expected behavior?

Youre welcome, thank you for using our tools.

We need to update the indicator for buffer issues.

But you can use the buffer in this way:

Buffer 5, is Buy trend (Green line)

If Buffer5!=EMPTY_VALUE => trend is buy

else trend is sell

Thanks!

 I try to use buffer5

sig = iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,1); //  1 bar shift

sig_prev=iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,2); //2 bar shift


if(sig_prev==EMPTY_VALUE && sig!=EMPTY_VALUE ) buy entry

if(sig_prev!=EMPTY_VALUE && sig==EMPTY_VALUE ) sell entry

BUY ENTRY is OK in this way

But SELL ENTRY sometimes missed!

I wonder why..

sig = iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,1);	//  Down Buffer
sig_prev=iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,2);  //  2 bar shift

if (sig_prev!=EMPTY_VALUE && sig==EMPTY_VALUE ) // buy signal
if (sig_prev==EMPTY_VALUE && sig!=EMPTY_VALUE ) // sell signal
if (sig!=EMPTY_VALUE) // Trend is Sell (red line)
else // Trend is Buy (Green line)

What I want to make entry is like below..

I told you the buffer 5 is but trend that was wrong :) The buffer 5, is Down (red) buffer.
Anyway, in my last comment.  Did you check and test the code? signals condition is exactly what you need.

Thank you for your support.

Yes, below code works fine for BUY entry

sig = iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,1);     //  Down Buffer
sig_prev=iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,2);  //  2 bar shift

But sometimes the SELL entry is missed.

If I change the shift to 2, then the SELL entry works fine.

However, shift=2 causes a lag, so I want to use shift=1.

sig = iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,2);     //  Down Buffer
sig_prev=iCustom(NULL,Time_Frame,"Market\Flow Trend.ex4",5,3);  //  3 bar shift

Check this sample code. I tested it and it wors well.

Thank you very much for your kindly support.

Below is my findings.

Just read TREND (BUY or SELL) with Line color is no problem.

However when the Trend switch from buy to sell  or sell to buy (Line color change), buffer 5 delays 1bar for SELL.

    double DownValue0 = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Market/Flow Trend.ex4", 5, 2);
    double DownValue1 = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Market/Flow Trend.ex4", 5, 3);

If I use shift2 and shift3, that is OK

The result is below.

Below is normal code

    double DownValue0 = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Market/Flow Trend.ex4", 5, 1);
    double DownValue1 = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Market/Flow Trend.ex4", 5, 2);

When I used shift=1 and shift=2, the result is below.

Only BUY signal from buffer is made.

I did not get SELL signal.

This is the exactly buffers bug. we will update it in futures. bu notice that, color change on chart happended by 1 candle waiting. so it normal to detect the candle colors in 2-3 bar delay. check the buys signal in firs picture that you sent.

OK, I am glad that you know the issue.

Thank you very much.
