How to get my HMA to be identified in MT4
-
I have an HMA indicator loaded into my fxDreema. The indicator does not have any selections where I can indicate a period when I use it in fxDreema. The same indicator in MT4 I am able to change the period and method in MT4. How do I edit the Indicator in fxDreema to be able to edit those two variables?

@jameshovey85 Can you please share the link to your project?

@jameshovey85 you can set up new inputs to your custom indicator here

@roar https://fxdreema.com/shared/8fta0XKpc here is a very simple version of trying to buy crossing the HMA. I am just trying to get the MT4 to recognize my indicator properly with fxDreema EA.
Can you tell me what I am missing?
-
@jameshovey85 everything should be allright with that setup. Can you show what you see when you use the indicator in some fxdreema block?

@roar Thanks that did work. I had my HMA saved in the Market folder of indicators and had to rename my HMA as Market/HMA.
How would you set up a block or series of blocks to indicate Price cross above HMA for current candle. I have tried to set this up with the Price X> Indicator block with no luck. I also used a condition as seen below. Only seems to work sometimes. I thought maybe there is a problem with the HMA value in live time?
-
@roar Not sure exactly what you are asking. Are you wanting to see the chart when I backtest in MT4?
To be clear my trade is inconsistent. Sometimes it will buy when the price crosses HMA and sometimes it will not. I eliminated all the extras from the EMA and still only buys some of the time.

@jameshovey85 Here is a picture of the chart in MX4. The only condition is that the price X> HMA.

@jameshovey85 your indicator probably has different buffers for green and red line. So you need separate condition for the red line.
My guess:
Green = Buffer 1
Red = Buffer 2 -
@jameshovey85 try this way : always put candle ID1 value when we use indicators
