Tutorial 06 - My Indicators in fxDreema

[l'andorrà]

I found a new challeng for miro ;). In order to complete his outstanding tutorial on custom indicators I would like to suggest how to deal with a common problem for MT5 users like me. How can mq5 indicators be recognized by fxDreema? Let's see this example: the humble accellerator oscillator. This is its mq5 variant when we drag it into the chart:

Apparently easy. No parameters and just two buffers, green and red. However, this is what we see when we try to upload it to our custom indicator's pool:

As we can see, both colour buffers are embedded into a single buffer 0. That means we cannot choose different colours for buy/sell conditions because both are offered on the same output buffer. How can we deal with cases like this?

BTW, this is the indicator for MT5. 0_1564065320571_accelerator.mq5

I don't think he's looking for the logic behind the indicator but the solution for many mq5 indicators like this: one buffer --> two colour values. How can we "translate" that into fxDreema two buffers eligible on the 'Condition' operands?

[miro1360]

MT5 is not exposed to working with all custom indicators as easily and reliably as MT4. Ask the author of the indicator for a separate buffer to allow you to link it with any EA. He can create an additional buffer for you or edit original. Every serious (or paid) indicator in MT5 should ensure EA compatibility (using either a buffer or graphical objects).

Sorry, no other way than the modification of the indicator ... moreover each indicator is different.
The basic difference (one of many) between the original and edited one is shown here:

and the implementation:

Exactly, I already knew the logic of the indicator. I was interested in what isp00rt said. Once again I can confirm that Mq5 is not as interesting as mq4 when designing EAs on fxDreema. Programming knowlegde is required to be fully functional. Sad:(

Thank you once more for your help, Miro.

It is really very simple, almost like template editing, I wouldn't even call it programming

hi Mr miro, may i know which file is Heiken Ashi with colour file? or do you have any?

@miro1360 - I just want to say: Thank you for the effort you put in too learn us noobs. I know it is a lot of effort for nothing..... Much appreciated!!!

@l-andorrà Hi ... I am also interested to use this indicator ... So what is the outcome here? Did you manage to find the developer of the indicator and manage to separate the buffers? Please matey share with us?

Hello guys! I think my question will add value here. I try to add EX4 custom indicator with STRING value and it gives "implicit conversion from 'string' to 'number" error on the compilation.

The parameter value is a indicator licence key and it has letters and digits. The problem is the Metatrader tries to convert it to digits for some reason, so what I get after the compilation is done is 0 in the value field instead of the licence code.

Here is the project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/CKrrO9yXd

Does anyone knows a workaround for this type of compilations?

Thank you!

@Kiku I can help you on this, but it repaints too much.

Hi Micro
My EA still opens a lot of trades a once can you help even after I used once per bar

[l'andorrà]

@austin07 Can you please open a different thread for your issue? This tutorial is not the place for that.
