Please help to call the parabolic sar (mtf) 2.01 indicator from EA.  It takes the following parameters as input. Please see attached file. 

Documentation on MQL5: Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Indicator Constants / Smoothing Methods
Documentation on MQL5: Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Indicator Constants / Smoothing Methods
  • www.mql5.com
Many technical indicators are based on various methods of the price series smoothing. Some standard technical indicators require specification of the smoothing type as an input parameter. For specifying the desired type of smoothing, identifiers listed in the ENUM_MA_METHOD enumeration are used.

You can change the timeframes call sequence from Calling it on the current timeframe and sending in the indicator inputs the Target timeframe if you dont get the desired result

* You have to send the timeframe setting *

 

Hello All,

  I did edit my original post as per suggestion / rules.

  I am sending current time frame but still does not work.

  Please help.

Thanks.
