Reading buffer values from custom indicators
-
Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?
General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum?
Next time, post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon. - Luka Savić: nd i didn't know which buffer is for what,
#property indicator_color1 Red #property indicator_color2 DodgerBlue #property indicator_color3 Black #property indicator_color4 White #property indicator_color5 Blue
Is it not obvious which one you want? The index in iCustom is one less (0-4).

Hi everyone, I am programming in MQL4 for some time but there is an issue I can't resolve and it is around using buffers in custom indicators.
Specifically, it is one indicator that I found online(i have it's source code).
Here is the picture of the indicator

How I approached the problem:
I've seen that there are 5 indicator buffers, and i didn't know which buffer is for what, since there is only 1 line that interests me, so what i did is I checked for all 5 buffers, what are the values when the V is formed. That is when i want to take a buy in my simple EA. So then, I just made my EA with one big if statement that checks values of all 5 buffers for 3 different candles, so 15 values at total, and if they are all correct, i take a buy. The problem is that sometimes, even that the line is straight, bot takes some Buy trades, which means the buffers values are just like when forming a V, and then I don't get it how the indicator works?
I will put the source code down so if someone wants to help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
