Create own indicator and use there other indicators

New comment
 

Hi,


I want to create an indicator and want to use there the iTrix indicator.

How can I do this? I found this but I dont understand it for my case ^^

following the code, where I have to implement this in the indicator... hm I think so :-)

   int start;
   if(prev_calculated==0) start=1;  // start filling out MTMBuffer[] and AbsMTMBuffer[] from the 1st index 
   else start=prev_calculated-1;    // set start equal to the last index in the arrays 
   for(int i=start;i<rates_total;i++)
     {
      //get iTrix Value
      //do something with this...

      //Buffer[i] = ...;
     }
   return(rates_total);
  }


Thank you

In MQL5 you can write an indicator both from a scratch and on the basis of another already existing indicator, in-built in the client terminal or a custom one. And here you also have two ways - to improve an indicator by adding new calculations and graphical styles to it , or to use an indicator in-built in the client terminal or a custom one via the iCustom() or IndicatorCreate() functions.

Thanks a lot, it works!

FillArrayFromBuffer(TRIXBuffer,handle_iTriX,values_to_copy)

Was important for that.
