My first diagram
-
Using the web version I made this diagram. I am trying to have the weekly time frame filter trades for other shorter "current" time periods. When the weekly indicator is up then only hourly or 4H trades will be taken. To test it so far I want to show up or down arrows associated with periods of time filtered by the weekly indicator result.
Do I download the ex4 file and install it in EA folder and run it when the markets are open or can I use strategy tester to see it in action in the past?

whoops! I don't think that link from 2block to 5block should be there but instead a parallel created from 1block. Am I right?

Yes, use the backtester to see what is going on! That's why they created it.
And in any case, to check if your custom indicator works as expected, check it with "Indicators tester" first. This block should be connected under "on Tick" with some "Pass" block. And it shows the values out of one of the buffers of the selected custom indicator. If it shows normal values (depending on the indicator), it can be used and you will know that it works fine. This is because there are some custom indicators that have buffers, but they have the same value all the time, so the EA can't really use them.
