How can I get +DI and -DI review of ADX indicator?

New comment
  
handleAdx = iADX(_Symbol, _Period, 14);


I can get the main ADX value. But I need +DI and - DI values. Is there a way to get these values without calculating manually?

With,

handleAdx = iADX(_Symbol, _Period, 14);

You show how to get the handle, not how to get the ADX value.

Read the documentation.

iADX

The buffer numbers are the following: 0 - MAIN_LINE, 1 - PLUSDI_LINE, 2 - MINUSDI_LINE.

int handleADX;

Isn't it like that?

I copied handleADX to an array with CopyBuffer and when I printed any value of the array I could only get the ADX value.

I didn't understand what I was missing.


EDIT :  I think I got it, I'll give it a try. I'll edit here if I can.

 
Look into the ADX code from the folder Examples: How many buffer does the indicator have? How are they initialised through SetIndexBuffer? Which buffer is which index number? These are the buffer numbers you need for copying the buffers. Try it and if you have questions show your attempt.

  1. You don't copy the handle at all. You use the handle with CopyBuffer. Do you really expect an answer? There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked. Always post all relevant code (using Code button) or attach the source file.

    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.
