Import Indicator

[ramimoujaes]

Greetings,

I have imported a personal indicator, and I am having a tough time creating an expert advisor. All I want to do is to buy when the price crosses buffer 2, and sell when price crosses buffer 0. All of which are once per bar, 1 hour time frame, and take-profit of 50 pips, no-stop loss.

here is what I have:

Your earliest reply is much appreciated.

Sincerely

@ramimoujaes Apparently the buffers are not properly identified by fxDReema. That is a very common problem when working woth MT5. Did you import an mq5 or an ex5 version of the indicator into your fxDreema account?

[ramimoujaes]

Hello,

I imported an mq5.

@l-andorrà Greetings,

A follow up question, I am trying to import another indicator (mq5 file) and it isnt reading the buffers, what can I do in this case

[l'andorrà]

@ramimoujaes I recommend you to read the following tutorials. Maybe they will be helpful:

@l-andorrà hello,

I am having a hard time importing a custom indicator (mq5 file) and making an Expert advisor out of it. After I import it in to the fxdreema, and create the expert advisor, when I test the expert advisor, it is not showing the indicator or even opening positions. Do you think you can help me?

P.S I didn't create the code or the indicator. I just downloaded it from CodeBase MQL5 website. But when I import it, all the buffers are shown, but when I create the strategy and test it, mt5 does not display the indicator

Your earliest response and assistance is much appreciated

@ramimoujaes No proble, I will try to help you. Can you please share the indicator?

[ramimoujaes]

@l-andorrà Greetings,

@ramimoujaes I see ther problem. Each buffer can have two different values. This is a common problem for MT5 indicators. Can please miro or roar give us a hand here? I'm afraid I have no idea how to deal with this.

@l-andorrà He has to ask the creator of the indicator to separate the buffers to use in EA... I tried to talk top these indicator makers before Mladen Raki... They were unwilling... Maybe ramimoujaeus is more successful

@AlphaOmega @l-andorrà Greetings,

I have consulted a person, and this is what they had to say:

"I'm not familiar with how much freedom you have over fxdreema's code, but you just have to match the indicator buffers with the ea you're creating.
This is done during the icustom function call in the ea, if that helps. "

Any ideas?

@ramimoujaes I also had about the same answer .. You are in between a very hard place and a rock... better, just get yourself another indicator or if you are totally set on this one, pay the guy to write you an EA with that indicator.. IMHO. just get another indicator

@alphaomega Greetings,

I tried using another indicator, but it didn't quite read it in the first place; when I imported the custom indicator, it didn't even read the buffers. The first indicator I tried it did read at the start, but when testing it, it didn't work. But the second indicator, did not even read the buffers, do you care to see why it didnt read the buffers?

@ramimoujaes My friend, this indicator do not have buffers. You will have to work with object on chart with this indicator

@alphaomega I hate mq5 indicators.
