Hi,
i'd like to make an ea with this indicator : perkyasctrend, (thanks collector !!), but the ea seems to miss some dot .... but not all of them ?!?
here is my code :
double perk_up = iCustom(NULL, 0, "PerkyAsctrend",4,250,0,1);
double perk_down = iCustom(NULL, 0, "PerkyAsctrend",4,250,1,1);
if (perk_up != 2147483647){
tfx_direction="up";
}else if (perk_down != 2147483647){
tfx_direction="down";
}else{
tfx_direction="flat";
}
Can anyone help me ?
thanks a lot !!
Unfortunately that doesnt seem to work. My understanding is that you need to place a value in a buffer for return through the iCustom call.
I have tried adapting code from another indicator that works for this, but it is not working here and I havent yet figured out why.
Here is what I did..
SetIndexBuffer(0, val1buffer);
SetIndexBuffer(1, val2buffer);
SetIndexBuffer(2, b2);
//---- indicators
SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_ARROW, EMPTY); SetIndexArrow(0, 108);
SetIndexStyle(1, DRAW_ARROW, EMPTY); SetIndexArrow(1, 108);
SetIndexStyle(2, DRAW_NONE);
I added an array called b2. Farther down in the code, where the buy/sell decision is made, I added this;
b2[0] = -1;
Alert(Symbol(), " ", Period(), "M Asctrend BUY ",b2[0]);
return(0);
I set a value of -1 in the b2[0] location. according to my understanding, the following call to icustom
should return the value for the current bar.
double perk_value = iCustom(NULL, 0, "PerkyAsctrend",4,250,2,0);
What I am finding is that the setting of the value in b2[0] is simply not happening. You see I attempt to print it
in the alert, and I always get a value of zero. I have no idea why.

Updating this a bit more, I found that I was not setting the property correctly,
#property indicator_buffers 3
Once I did this I was able to set the value. Unfortunately the return is now 2147483647
rather than my value. This seems like I am getting a pointer rather than a value.
I need a more experienced indicator/ea coder to help on this one.
