custom indicator query
-
Have read a number of posts on this, but sorry I don't understand. I loaded a custom indicator, identified the buffer (white), Selected in my condition and just wanted to draw a vertical line to test if I could Identify it. - No joy.
I did see if you only looking at arrows, some thing about repainting.
Advice would be appreciated

@sli1-0 On buffers that only have a visual value eg. in data window of your MT4 terminal, such as your arrow buffers probably have, better use the blocks "indicator is visible" or "indicator is invisible". The background is that most of them have the datatype double and somehow if it's not filled by the indicator, the value is some high positive number (can't recall it at the moment). You may test it by putting the value of your arrow buffer in an variable and print on the chart or in the log.

Additionally, repainting can be a problem. Do you know if an arrow can be changed (appearing/disapearing) while the current bar is being formed? That means you can get several fake signals on a row.

@sli1-0 Are you trying to implement an EA based on that trading system? Stochastic Divergence Trader
The "Stochastic Divergence Trader.mq4" appears already to be an EA. I'm not sure that you can use it as an indicator here.

thanks for that, I did see that in the post, and when I tried to import it into Dremma, and it didn't load I assumed it was not.
Just on of those tired mistakes. Thanks for looking at it closely
