Not being a programmer, I couldnt get this to work.

Seems that the person who programmed this went a totally different route than the one suggested here. He did this:

//--- indicator buffers mapping
SetIndexBuffer(0,baro,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(1,barh,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(2,barl,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(3,barc,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(4,barcl,INDICATOR_COLOR_INDEX);
SetIndexBuffer(5,cano,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(6,canh,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(7,canl,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(8,canc,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(9,cancl,INDICATOR_COLOR_INDEX);
SetIndexBuffer(10,line,INDICATOR_DATA);
SetIndexBuffer(11,linecl,INDICATOR_COLOR_INDEX);
//---

So if I change #property indicator_buffers 12 to 3, it will mess up the above code for 12 (0-11) internal buffers, of which 3 are shown?

Hi

I have done a trace on an indicator, but that returns "EMPTY_VALUE (BUFFER 0)" error messages for the 3 buffers.

The indicator works in mt5 both on live and backtesting charts. It also seems to work in fxdreema, in that it recognizes both input and the 3 buffer values in the source code.

But for some reason it registers the 3 values as empty. Buffer 0 and 1 are for painting the candles, and buffer 2 are for plotting a line. Perhaps this is the reason behind the empty values?

I looked through the tutorial and it states that "property" indicates where the buffers are located in the program code (source code), so I copy pasted that part of the source code below, hope it is the right place to find the error in the buffers As can be seen in the code, the indicator have only 3 buffers, which fxdreema finds seemingly correctly.

Hope you can help

The code:
#property indicator_chart_window
#property indicator_buffers 12
#property indicator_plots 3
#property indicator_label1 "Trend bars"
#property indicator_type1 DRAW_COLOR_BARS
#property indicator_color1 clrDarkGray,clrDeepSkyBlue,clrSandyBrown
#property indicator_label2 "Trend candles"
#property indicator_type2 DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES
#property indicator_color2 clrDarkGray,clrDeepSkyBlue,clrSandyBrown
#property indicator_label3 "Trend line"
#property indicator_type3 DRAW_COLOR_LINE
#property indicator_color3 clrDarkGray,clrDeepSkyBlue,clrSandyBrown
#property indicator_style3 STYLE_DOT

After restarting the computer the problem went away, and now it all works fine. Odd, but as long as it works Thanks for the help

I tried to get your test to work, but it didnt. However I figured out how to share the project. SwapTest

I checked, and all swap data is kept in double format.

Hi

I am testing out swap in mt5, just made a very simple strategy that opens a trade when swap is positive and closes trades when swap <=0.

I made the strategy put the value of the swap in the journal during tests. Problem is, swap is always registered as being = 0.

To get swap I use:

SwapLong = SymbolInfoDouble("AUDJPY",SYMBOL_SWAP_LONG);

Where SwapLong is the variable holding the value found.

Btw, is there any way to have it use current pair instead of a specific defined pair as above?
