how do you confirm there is no repainting?
Can I ask is my testing EA setup right, to get info.?

or
Is it possible to extract the calculations, from the MQL4 code and put it into a Custom MQL block. ?

when you say you avoid it. What does this mean. I read this and think that any EA built which daisy changes, there are times that block 1 will not run as it is connected to an other condition, (as in my example1), that's why I changed to example 2 going horizontal (as in example 2), and will move to using flags.

from this page: https://fxdreema.com/howto
from Waiting for blocks to pass: Two crossovers

I got confused with the 3rd paragraph. Last sentence starting with "Now the first condition will not run again...

Thank you for the response,
I have followed the tutorials and found from the Data Window that my buffers correspond to my colours in the custom indicator.

For testing I created the following using "modify variables" and comments, which should match the Data Window (in my opinion). I set the inputs so I could change the candle ID to 1 or 0 for testing, The comment values are not matching the Data Window.

here is the link to my project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/fNaCRQqKb
the interesting part is that not all the inputs are not showing on the EA as when reviewed to the indicator

From reading the examples tab, on the above topic , I have confused myself. Please help to untangle me.

Example 1, I believe that block 1 will pass but then will not run again till block 2 passes. So then if the EA is waiting for block 3, what is block 1 doing. as block 2 is in a pass state.
Example 2, Will run on every tick
Example 3, I have not used flags or boolean in an EA, So I think this is a very basic example, on how to use.

Previously on example 1, I had different areas of blocks to run and was turning blocks on and off to ensure that blocks run on every tick. I then changed to example 2 to ensure HTF blocks ran on every tick. Then recently read a post on using booleon over flags.

So for instance you may have a daily time frame with a 3 EMA CROSS to set market direction, and when matched looked at a MACD on a LTF for a signal to buy or sell.

From reading the forums, when price crosses the inbuilt indicators, we can use X<, or X> or like. I have uploaded an indicator using a *.mq4 file. I would like to know if there is a work around to get where price crosses the indicator. I can understand when we just use a .ex4, for appearances/colour change of a buffer. But thought using a .mq4 file it should act like the inbuilt indicators.

I have read the MQL4 document, but it is like reading Latin to add code, for me (icustom etc)0_1612241240043_smTMA_v3.1a.mq4.

Many thanks

I was looking to see how to store the 2 previous pivot point values and compare. Was looking at different ways to determine sideways markets. But can't work out how to manipulate the variables to allow me to compare these values

look at formula blocks. Have a go and someone will review.

Looking to set up some notifications on fractal breaks.
Setup some pending orders as my base line, which works. I then created some arrows on my conditions. I can't seem to get either of the indicators as per the examples to draw the arrows as expected.
Could someone else have a look over and tell me what I am missing for the price to break the fractal value and draw an arrow.

any ideas on how to move forward to resolve?
