how to add indicator code into expertadvisor code ??

New comment
 

as i mentioned above, i wish to make ea with stochastic coding.

the problem is how to add indicator code into ea ??

You can, with certain limitations, but using iCustom is a whole lot easier.

But if you really want to: Transferring an Indicator Code into an Expert Advisor Code. Indicator Structure - MQL4 Articles

 

For Stochastic it is not needed iCustom

double iStochastic( string symbol, int timeframe, int %Kperiod, int %Dperiod, int slowing, int method, int price_field, int mode, int shift)
Calculates the Stochastic oscillator and returns its value.
Parameters:
symbol - Symbol the data of which should be used to calculate indicator. NULL means the current symbol.
timeframe - Timeframe. It can be any of Timeframe enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.
%Kperiod - %K line period.
%Dperiod - %D line period.
slowing - Slowing value.
method - MA method. It can be any ofMoving Average method enumeration value.
price_field - Price field parameter. Can be one of this values: 0 - Low/High or 1 - Close/Close.
mode - Indicator line index. It can be any of the Indicators line identifiers enumeration value.
shift - Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).
Sample:
  if(iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0)>iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,0))
    return(0);

how about adding rvi indicator into ea ?

also using the same code as the way adding stochastic ?

 
Read the documentation

iCustom() or iRVI()

i trying to add RVI indicator into escape EA, but failure...

it show

expression on global scope not allowed

function definition unexpected

unbalanced parentheses

how to fix these error ??

 

here the code i did this morning.

anyone can help me to fix it ??

Before posting please read some of the other threads . . . then you would have seen numerous requests like this one:

Please use this to post code . . . it makes it easier to read.

You can't use Indicator code in an EA . . . read the thread I posted a link to. You have to have equal numbers of { and } also equal numbers of ( and ) . . . . haven't I already said this once ? https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/139447 I guess you don't bother to learn from other posts ?
