iCustom

EugeneFXI,

Can you or one of the other instructors help me out with creating the code for this indicator to let me know when an arrow has been detected? I've been trying for two weeks and I can't get this thing to work.

Much thanks in advance,

Y

Hi Yarns,

Try something like this:

PHP Code:

if(iCustom(NULL,0,"LWMA-Crossover_Signal",5,6,0,0) > 0 || iCustom(NULL,0,"LWMA-Crossover_Signal",5,6,1,0) > 0)
Alert("We have a crossover!"); 


Parameters for iCustom:
parmeter 1 :the symbol - NULL for current symbol.
parmeter 2 : time frame - 0 for current time frame.
parmeter 3 : indicator name - "LWMA-Crossover_Signal".
parmeter 4 : LWMA parameter 1, FasterLWMA = 5.
parmeter 5 : LWMA parameter 2, SlowerLWMA = 6.
parmeter 6 : buffer number (0 to 7) = 0 or 1 (CrossUp or CrossDown buffers).
parmeter 7 : bar index - 0 for the current bar.

Let me know how it goes!

Eugene,

I figured it out, this is how you use icustom as is:

double LWMACrossup = iCustom(NULL, 0, "LWMACrossoverSignal",5,6,0,1);
double LWMACrossdown = iCustom(NULL, 0, "LWMACrossoverSignal",5,6,1,1);

(I did change the name of the file so I wouldn't have to use dashes in the iCustom command.)

Thanks,

Y

Good indicator,

I guess that the MA used is on the "close", is it possible to choose the "open" price?
