[elyatim]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new in mql5, 

I'm trying to run a script that get the value of the moving average IMA. but the problem that it always return me the value of 10 

i know that mql5 is different than mql4, and i have to use the function Copybuffer. i tried but no result 

if anyone can help me please !! that's my code :

void OnStart()
{
//---
   int EMA  = iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,3,1,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
   Print(EMA);
}

Perhaps you should read the manual, especially the examples.

They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int). You get that in OnInit. In OnTick/OnCalculate (after the indicator has updated its buffers), you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.
