First time user, EA on custom indi color change
-
Good afternoon everyone, I am a very new user of FXDreema and I have no programming experience. I've been working for at least a week trying to build an ea that will enter/exit trades on a color change of a custom indicator. I have the indicator imported and I'm trying to user Indicator Appear or Indicator visible or even Condtion to make this happen. If it does take trades it takes buy and sell together which is a waste of time. I want one trade open each time the indi changes color. I'm obviously missing something pretty basic. Any ideas for me??

@rippin your indicator changes color when it makes new high or new low, doesnt it?
Its often easier to detect that turning point, rather than the color.

@rippin Roar: not really sure if that's the right way to upload...
To your point, it's not really turning point. But the signal, as I know it, is color change of the line. The indi has a few parameters to play around with depending on time frame etc. The signals look interesting enough that I want to see what can happen if properly automated. I've made some progress, but, having a hard time getting trades to occur only at color change. currently takes a few trades after the change. Any help advice would be greatly appreciated. -
@rippin but it does change color every time the direction changes, doesnt it?

I made an example EA for you. But this indicator repaints like crazy. I wouldn't waste any more of my time on this, to be frank.
