how to call MACD signal and main in my EA

New comment
 

I was going to write an EA based on MACD indicator.

I have problems with calling main and signal amounts in my EA. is there anybody able to give me a guide? 

 

The example in the MetaEditor help for iMACD function if fair enough to tell everything ...

Here it is ...

if(iMACD(NULL,0,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0)>iMACD(NULL,0,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_SIGNAL,0)) return(0);

 Please let me know if anything is not clear.

 

thanks Osama for help.

actually, I think these MODE_MAIN and MODE_SIGNAL supposed to be for MT4. in MT5 they come with (undeclared identifier).

and for the iMACD, it comes with: "wrong parameters count" error. 

or if there is something I need to call, I am afraid I don't know the path.

do you know what is the problem?

You can see an example in the folder:

or
