Dear all,
I have an indicator named "ma_bar".
when I use it in another indicator using iCustom(NULL,0,"ma_bar",0,i) (e.g. a[i] = iCustom(NULL,0,"ma_bar",0,i); ), it works properly.
however, when I use it in an EA using iCustom(NULL,0,"ma_bar",0,1) (e.g. if( iCustom(NULL,0,"ma_bar",0,1) > 0.1 ) ) , it returns 0.0000 values at every ontick loop in backtesting when I use Print command to check (Print(DoubleToStr(iCustom(NULL,0,"ma_bar",0,1),Digits)), (what make me mad is, in backtesting, the chart added the indicator successfully and showed value of every bar correctly!)
I have tried to create an variable (double c1) to store the value and use c1 to make calculation but it still didn't work.
does anyone know why?
