Condition block misses applied to indicator option
-
Hi,
in the condition block there is a drop down option missing.
The right hand parameters can only apply to price and not to indicators like in MT4/MT5.
I want to use a moving average on an ATR indicator. That's not possible.
Is there a workaround?

You need to use an ENUM type variable to do it. However, I'm not a programmer, so I can't provide the technical solution. You can search on the forum for ENUM tags and you'll fins some threads explaining of to do it.

That's interesting! Thanks
I'm wondering how this may work by having an indicator on the indicator.I was playing with a custom code step, which finally brought some results. It's not sexy yet, but it works somehow.

Interesting. Because I'm not a programmer, I have no idea if that can be the best solution or not.

Interesting. What you did was like coding a custom indicator using the MQL block -

Yes AI opens up a full new dimension now. Which is amazing!
I would call it a hybrid. Since we can use a light and simple code similar to easy language.
I played also a bit with creating a custom indicator out of it. Chat GPT created the code straight away without even an error. I thought that's pretty impressive!
But like the 80/20 rule to then really find the problem one needs to be a programmer.
For example here. The first Subwindow is what I want. The second is the custom indicator
You see there is a difference in how the MA is plotted. So this was the end for me...
With the custom code step I have more flexibility and now can use different outputs like a line in the indicator or an arrow and if I like it just create a buy / sell order ... pretty easy and straight forward.
This is the current version of the project.
The strategy just uses 2 conditions. Since the BB Stop is working I now just need to add the ATR cross and the signal is already finished...
