Not getting alert or notification.

[RAMESH Poudel]

Hello,

I created a MLQ5 expert advisor code. I compile and it says no error. I created an alert about RSI crossing 50 alert. However  I did not receive any alert. 

Can someone please help me. 

I created a code -

Perhaps you should read the manual, iRSI - Technical Indicators - MQL5 Reference - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5 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.
