Is it possible to create an EA that enables communication between 2 or more terminals to share data? Trying to create a HFT EA to trade different brokers by leveraging the latencey of diff brokers compared to others.

Is it an ex4 in

yes its a .ex4 file I do not have the mq4. those values on the right are standard values, and when I imported it I updated the values to the ones I need for my EA, and I remember someone said the name of you give the buffers doesn't really matter as long as you use them accordingly.

I mean what is seen on the 'Colors' tab when you

Do you mean like this ?

I have been using custom indicators for some time now, a couple of days ago i tried using this new custom indicator but found that the EA is making trades at incorrect candles when testing, I know that because after the test completes i drop the indicator on the chart with same settings i get the arrows on completely different candles. So i downloaded another custom indicator that has similar results but also get the same issue so i left those indicators.

Then yesterday i get a completely different indicator to work on, then i get the same issue on it as well, i check buffers on candle[1] as usual and these arrows do not redraw.

I have attached the arrow indicator below with settings, can someone please help me and check if I'm doing something incorrectly.

@l-andorrà said in Initialize Custom Indicator:

ust look at the name of each o

I can find the objects when I test, that is after I manually add the custom indicator to my chart while it's testing. The issue I have is, my custom indicator doesn't appear or isn't added when I run my EA......i have to manually add the indicator so that the EA can start working.

The indicator doesn't use buffers for its objects that it draws on the chart.

Hi, I have a custom indicator.ex4 that displays objects on the chart instead of using a buffer. I have uploaded it, added all inputs but since I'm querying for objects on the chart the indicator itself doesn't seem to appear. So is there a way of making sure that the custom indicator is initialized when a user drops the EA on their chart? Maybe on the EA's "on Init" tab/method.

@l-andorrà I did not set te parameters because i do not need to change them.

@trader-philipps Thanks, I tried it. Importing it was a breeze and I'm trying to get the asterisks indicators and initiate a trade on a candle right after but still no luck. I have sent screenshots. A trade keeps getting initiated on a random candle that doesn't have a previous candle with an asterisks

@l-andorrà Hi, i did create them and set a condition but still no luck.

And is it also possible to intercept the idicators alerts in order to trigger a buy\sell from the ea?

@l-andorrà Yes. so I'm trying to buy when an aqua arrow appears bellow the bottom line and sell when a gold arrow appears above top line.

can anyone else please assist?

@padletut Thank you, can you please help me again. I have been dealing with custom indicators lately, i have an indicator that displays BUY & SELL signal arrows.

I have added buffers and placed a check for the arrow color buffer if its > 0 on candle index 1, but when i display out all the buffers im checking are zero then change breifly when an arrow appears then change back to zero which is correct. But when i hover over the comment i see the old buffer value eg. 1.221343 instead of 0 on the hover pop up window.

So in a nut shell im trying to create a n EA that will BUY when the aqua arrow appears below the bottom line, and SELL when the gold arrow appears above the top line.

I have attached the indicator and image

@padletut This is so cool :). ok, a few questions.

1. When you imported the indicator did you leave the input values empty and only filled in the Buffers on purpose and it works, or this was just an example to help me with my issue?

2. How did you get the names of the Buffers?

3. Is the ordering of the Buffers enforced?

@varso thanks, I had it on 0. putting candle index on 1 made small deference

I think there are too many inputs and maybe fxdreema has a limited number of inputs because when I enter the last input it says "Done" but then the row disappears. Here is the indicator below

Oh no, I have an indicator, I just need to check if it created a signal on the current candle. I see there is something called Buffer, so I have set the buffers as per on my indicator Colors settings.

So when i do a check to see if buffer3's value is greater than one I get nothing, and the indicator gets added too many times. I have a Once Per Candle condition, not sure how i would make sure that the custom indicator is added only once to the current chart. and the indicator loads incorrect values than the ones i have set when i was uploading it.

Hi, I have a custom indicator that displays a bubble on top (for sells) and a bubble on the bottom (for buys) of candles. I'm not sure how would I go about doing the check, i already have the custom indicator imported on my project, just need to check if the indicator has put a signal and where (above or bottom of the current candle) . Please help me
