Ive tried to load this indicator to my EA: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/575
But i need some help..
Before I was using MQL4 and just switched to MQL5 and MT5.
In mql4 I just could access the values like this.
Now I looked into the documentation of MQL5 iCustom but I am not sure how to now get the data of the buffer and where to specify which candle.
I read something about using a handle and any copybuffer but I do not understand it fully.
Could anyone give me an example (with this indicator if possible) on how to access the data?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
cheers,
