Help with custom indicator

[stryder]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to fxDreema! I am really enjoying learning this program.

I am working on a missing pivot strategy. The indicator that I have has a buffer which outputs the weekly pivot.

My goal is that the stragegy should buy once price gets to a certain price away from the pivot. So in this example, I want to buy before it hits the pivot and once it reaches 100 pips away from the pivot.

I am having trouble figuring out how to adjust capture that buffer into a variable to set a price where I am looking to buy. Does this make any sense?? I hope so. Here is where I got so far before I became stuck. This one is a little above my knowledge obviously.

You should use a dark grey 'Modify Variable' to catch the value of that indicator. However, it will not catch anything if it's just a color change, not a value. Is that the case?

Thanks. No not just a color change.

In that case, any value (number) generated by the indicator can be initially inserted into a variable by using that block.

Got it. Thank you!!
