Custom indicator not displaying arrows...

New comment
 

Hello, I originally made this indicator just to display an arrow on the following bar after MACD histogram changes direction, I would now like these arrows to filtered using two MAs ie. fast is above slow. 

I have edited my code and it is running with no errors but it will not display anything anymore - can anyone help please I don't know whats wrong?


Many Thanks! :)

You reset index 'i', but then change the value of 'i-TF/Period()+1'

         CrossUp[i]   = EMPTY_VALUE;
         CrossDown[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
         if (i<Bars-TF/Period()-1 && direction[i]!=direction[i+TF/Period()])
         {
               if (direction[i]== 1) CrossUp[i-TF/Period()+1]   = Low[i-TF/Period()+1]  - iATR(NULL,0,10,i-TF/Period()+1);
               if (direction[i]==-1) CrossDown[i-TF/Period()+1] = High[i-TF/Period()+1] + iATR(NULL,0,10,i-TF/Period()+1);
         }
 
THanks for reply knave - little confused what you mean - please advise how to go ahead... thanks! :)
