You are right, I supposed it to be MQL4 but it is MQL5...

So @progress chukwu as you can see in a lot of free code around here, on MQL5 you need to declare and assign indicator handles into OnInit, and CopyBuffers into OnTick/OnCalculate.

Thanks 👍

I appreciate that you guys are helpful.

Please can you show me what to do?

And do you think that the code as it is currently written will work in mt4?

I think the code as is can work correctly on MQL4. Of course with the change I mentioned in my earlier posts.

Try and you will know if it works or not...

        CCI_Buffer[i] = iCCI(Symbol(), 0, CCI_Period, i);
        WPR_Buffer[i] = iWPR(Symbol(), WPR_Period, i);

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.
