Need help with EA based on indicator

[facto]

Hi !
I'm trying to create an EA based on the JagzFX_PIN_Ichimoku_MTF indicator in order to make a backtest but I can't get it to work. The log says:

"cannot open file 'C:\Users...\Experts\EAname.ex4'"
and
" Tester: cannot load ExpertsEAname "

I think it's because I can't get the indicator into EA even though I imported it into My Indicators from fxdreema.

What I want to do is to enter the position when the conditions chosen in input are met, so I need to run many of this same indicator with different option in input.

Here is my project :
https://fxdreema.com/shared/VAUEm35vc

Please note that since I only have the ex4 file I didn't have fun entering all the data you see in the inputs of the basic indicator since I don't use them, I just added the ones I thought were useful.

Here is the indicator:
JagzFX_PIN_Ichimoku_MTF 1.ex4

Thanks in advance for your help.

Importing indicator into the fxdreema doesn't mean that the indicator code is included in your EA.
You need to put the indicator into the indicator folder of MT4/5 as that the EA can find the indicator

[facto]

Yes the basic indicator is into the indicator folder but name is different (1, 2 3) for every "condition" of my project because I use the same indicator with different event so I need to upload it many times.
Is there an other solution to get it work please ?
Thanks

Are you sure you correctly emulated all input parameters and buffers as explained in this tutorial?:

Hello l'andorrà, as you can see on the project I followed the tutorial, I just didn't put the _ signs to translate the spaces, but is it necessary ?

How to add many times the same indicator imported in my project? I imported many times since the settings of conditions to be filled are different.

Thanks in advance.

@facto please, look at this error

[facto]

Hello ambrogio, in fact in the meantime I've been testing things but I'm not familiar with the coding of expert advisors. I had seen the errors but I don't know how to fix them so I'm testing things and I also shared the .ex4 file, if someone who knows about it can help me I would be grateful.

[ambrogio]

@facto it seems that the error is clear : you don't have an indicator with that name in dreema's "my indicators" list. Writing the exact name of the indicator is also crucial.

[facto]

Of course yes it was the good name before but I test some things and even if the indicator name is the right one (same as MT4 Indicators folder) I can't get the expert advisor to work. There are other concerns than simply the name that is not the right one.

In the meantime I changed the name and I still have mistakes when trying to compile.

@facto
Are you sure the setup of import indicator in fxdreema are correct?

[facto]

@sktsec I'm not sure that's why I share the indicator. Do you think that's incorrect? Do I need variables, constants? I don't understand everything yet, thank for your help.

@facto no problem for me to compile

[ambrogio]

@facto if you for some reason rename the indicator in MT4, you have to upload it with the new name in "my indicator" of fxdreema

[facto]

Yes I know it but I think the problem isn't about the name, it is exactly the same. And I imported the ex4 file and I entered the inputs myself so there may be mistakes or things that are missing. I do not know much about it.

If you compare with the basic indicator launched in MT4 you will see that I have not added all the inputs lines but I do not know if it has an impact.

Try downloading as .ex4 instead of .mq4 and you will see that there are mistakes.

i see now, there weren't these errors in your initial project.
It seems they are due to some variable, constant type........ i don't know, i'm sorry

[facto]

Yes, it is what I think and that's why I asked for help. I just know what I want to do but I don't know how to exactly do it.

I know there are people who know how to use fxdreema very well here so I tried to ask.

[facto]

Some help please?
Thanks in advance

[l'andorrà]

Did you try to use the same indicator on a completely different project? Maybe the problem is somewhere within this specific one.

[facto]

@l-andorrà yes I tried but I think it's me who can't enter the right data in the right place and the right format. There may be something missing to make the EA work, but I don't know enough about how an EA is created...

[l'andorrà]

I didn't notice blocks 2 and 4 are exactly the same. Why are they duplicated?
