TDI Custom Indicator -Cross Over

[sbaxter]

Hi All,
I am trying to use a custom indicator (TDI) to trigger a simple cross.
It is not wokring and I am guessing the buffers are outputing values rather than lines and therefore no actual cross over ever happens.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

TDI Custom Indicator Settings

TDI indicator in MT5 (note when I backtest this it doesn't appear)
Buy when Buffer 3 - RSI Price Line crosses Buffer 4 - Trade Signal Line (Smoothed moving average of RSI)

Condition Settings

further to this....I can see the values of teh TDI in the data window in MT5

Are those buffers gathered into the same buffer? That is the most common reason why MT5 indicators don't work in fxDreema.

Thank you for responding.
I dont really know as I cant read MQL5 which is why I am trying to learn fxDreema... which is probably why I need to do your course.
Here are some snips.
Am I better off going trying to use MT4?
I really do like this indicator and want to build it into strategies....
I apppreciate your help thank you

Can you please share the screenshot of the 'Colours' tab of the indicator when you run it on the chart?

Put those buffers into a comment and check if the values are usable

SetIndexBuffer(0, UpZone, INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(1, MdZone, INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(2, DnZone, INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(3, MaBuf, INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(4, MbBuf, INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(5, RSIBuf, INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS);

Technically they should be selectable. Did you try jstap's suggestion?
