how to compare numbers and iCustom value

[dvetri]

int x[] =
{
iCustom(NULL, NULL, "XXX",0,i)
,
66
,
22
,
99
}
;

int maxValue = ArrayMaximum(x);

Hi

I try to compare values of the external indicator and numbers.

is it correct to compare numbers and iCustom return value?

Is it any other way to do this?

thanks

int x will be the indicator handle please see: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/indicators/icustom

return(0);
}

this is mq4 - i forgot.

AA- constant expression required.
if I type number instead of "AA" there is no errors and the code works.

where is my mistake?

[Marco vd Heijden]

Have you tried printing the return value of iCustom directly ?

[Drazen Penic]

You can't use a variable in array initializer:

int x_up[] =
{
AA   <-- Wrong
,
66
,
22
,
99
}
;

 Instead, set some constant there and then assign a value to the x_up[0]

int x_up[] =
{
0
,
66
,
22
,
99
}
;
x_up[0] = AA;

great! this is what i'm asking for! thanks!

"Have you tried printing the return value of iCustom directly ?"

print have been works with numbers but not with variables in array (which is the my mistake).
