Need help with my indicator.

My indicator does not work properly, the indicator works fine on screen but when I try to use in an EA and let it Alert(iCustom(....)); it gives an enormous value.

TSD = iCustom(NULL,0,"Pascal_Indicator1",0,0);

Alert(TSD); // gives 214723948223...

The indicator 's code is :

int start()

{

int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

if(counted_bars <= 0) return(0);

int i = counted_bars;

while(i >= 0){

if(i > 0){

ExtMapBuffer1 = calculateData();

}

i--;

}

return(0);

}

I must be doing something dramatically wrong

Pascal.

 

To Pascal

Do you have the Parameters set for your indicator?

It does not have any parameters and as I said it looks fine on screen only the function returns this huge number.

If you send me your code, I'll test it and can help you.

iCustom() try to get the bar[0] value, but your indic does not calcul it " if(i>0) ", so the returned value is EMPTY_VALUE = 214....

 
 

added alert to nonlagZigZag indicator

Thank you tk748, for providing a possible work-around for my request. In turn, I have attached my attempt to provide your requested alerts on the NonLagZigZag indi. Although I can see that the alerts are working, please note that because today is Saturday, I have not tested to see if alerts occure at a useful time. I left a few comments in the code to show why I believe the alerts are in the correct location. I think you will like to try this out as soon as the markets are open.

Best regards, kevin07

 

nonlagzigzag signal

Thank you kevin07. I will try the nonlagzigzag signal when the market opens later today.
