Custom Indicator Trade Entry
-
Hi, I am struggling getting to signal a custom indicator. I use the Schaff Trend cycle nrp and I want it to signal when the colour changes to red or green.
0_1585656803604_Schaff Trend Cycle nrp.mq4
It's on my chart but how to get it to trade on colour change? I also want to avoid it trading if it doesn't hit both extremes, so no trading if colour changes mid way. I also want to use the Fish indicator which doesn't appear at but I'd like to solve this first. Any ideas? Main goal is to use MA's which I get now and use confluence with "custom Indicators" Thanks.

hey to start with schaff trend cycle is a repainting indicator using it for live trading is suboptimal, change "what to get to " value by Candle id. For the colour change its best to use indicator appear block. Beside this instead of equal use =>

@abarrett69 at the first you should check indicator buffers.
some indicator buffers cant show you any number when that is hidden.
you should be using "Indicator is visible" blocks for know which colour is showing on the chart.and you should check indicator in backtesting for know that is repainting indicator or not. if is repainting then you should be using ID 1 or 2

@xfire there is a difference between recalculation or repainting. Recalculation ca be stopped using id 1, Repainting not lets take zig zag indicator for example. You will see it will drag the high tops across the chart and id 1 isnt helping this
