The Indicator has 3 externs . .
extern int SSP = 6; //ïåðèîä ëèíåéíîãî ðàçâîðîòà èíäèêàòîðà extern int CountBars = 2250; //ðàñ÷åòíûé ïåðèîä extern int SkyCh = 13; //÷óâñòâèòåëüíîñòü ê ïðîáîþ êàíàëà
to use iCustome correctly you need to call it with all these parameters . . ( https://docs.mql4.com/indicators/iCustom )
double iCustom( string symbol, int timeframe, string name, ..., int mode, int shift)
Thanks RaptorUK for advice.
I changed arrowup and arrowdown in TestLukas to:
double arrowUp = iCustom(NULL,0,"lukas-curves",6,2250,13,0,1);
double arrowDown = iCustom(NULL,0,"lukas-curves",6,2250,13,1,1);
but it's still working the same
Any other idea ?

Did you look at the Indicator code ?
val1[i] = 0; val2[i] = 0;
the values for the arrow buffers are set to zero as default, so your test for EMPTY_VALUE (EMPTY_VALUE 0x7FFFFFFF Default custom indicator empty value.) probably always fails . . .
Add a Print statement to print the arrowUp and arrowDown values so you can see what they actually are . . .
Look at this chart, see all those arrows at the bottom of the chart, they are at 0 . . .
Thanks for paying attention to that.
So I changed conditions in EA to:
if (arrowDown >0 && arrowDown!=2147483647 && OrdersTotal()==0)
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lots,Bid,0,Bid+pips_sl*Point,Bid-pips_tp*Point,"SELL",16384);
if (arrowUp >0 && arrowUp!=2147483647 && OrdersTotal()==0)
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,0,Ask-pips_sl*Point,Ask+pips_tp*Point,"BUY",16384);
and it seems to work fine
Best regards

Hey RaptorUK, if you don't mind I would ask you one more question. I have problem with another indicator called Sidus.
I changed iCustom in TestLukas.mql4 to:
double arrowUp = iCustom(NULL,0,"sidus v.2",14,21,17,true,2,1);
double arrowDown = iCustom(NULL,0,"sidus v.2",14,21,17,true,3,1);
but this doesn't work properly
Actually within 1 month it send only one order, but the arrows were a lot more.
What could be problem this time ?
Below is the test result image with one order:

Looks like you have the wrong Indicator name in your code . . . . shouldn't it be sidusmv.2 ?
- RaptorUK said the indicator has 3 externs - all ints. So what is that true doing there?
ExtMapBuffer4[i-1] = High[i-1]-5*Point;
Your indicator is looking into the future - so it's uselesssigPrevious=sigCurrent; pipdiffPrevious=pipdiffCurrent;
This won't work in indicators, only valid the first time where it generates each bar. Subsequent bars, especially on refresh or skipped bars, it's using a global instead of the last bar's value.
That was for the old Indicator being used . . lukas-curves.mq4 this new one ( sidusmv.2.mq4 ) has the following . . .
extern int FastEMA=14; extern int SlowEMA=21; extern int RSIPeriod=17; extern bool Alerts=false;

I have a little problem with iCustom which involves a few indicators.
When I'm testing strategy TestLukas.mql4 it gives me result (look on image below) but I wanna to send order when arrow down or arrow up appears. What I do wrong ?
Thanks for answer anyway.
