Indicator Issue

[MIKEIKE]

I am using a third party indicator and only have an .EX file. I asked the author for the .mq4 file and he sent me an iCustom file. I uploaded the iCustom file and pointed to the indicator file name on my computer. I set the condition for the indicator buffer values to appear and also as visible and it does not work. The author obviously does not want to give the .mq4 file since he sells the indicator regularly. Is there any other method? or am I dead on this one? I have added the icustom and instruction for buffers so you might help me?

TraderDreamCustom.mq4

In fxDreema custom indicators can be defined manually. Look here for more info: https://fxdreema.com/documentation/proj ... indicators

Thank you for this information. I am still having an issue...

The original indicator presented no value so the author sent me the icustom mq4 which I uploaded. Then I entered the 8 buffers listed on this email. The indicator Draws an arrow up or down and those are buffers 6 & 7. I tried Indicator Appear Blocks and Condition Blocks and Indicator Visible Blocks. No Success.

I deleted the indicator and entered it manually based on your instruction without the icustom upload and repeated the same blocks. No Success.

The author gave me an example of an EA script that includes the icustom strings for buy and sell entries with buffers 6 & 7. I tried to copy paste sections of this in the fxdreema output mq4 file in different ways to see if this would work. No Success.

The author swears that the icustom program will work for an EA and provided me with the files attached in this string. Many hours have been spent. Can you offer any support?

Here is the sample EA String although I don't place orders on every signal -

int Signal=-1;
if(iCustom(_Symbol,_Period,"TraderDream",0,0,0,Div,0,0,0,0,0,0,6,Shift)!=0)
Signal=OP_BUY;

Your indicator file must be named TraderDream.mq4 and it has 10 numeric input parameters (most probably "int" type). Most of them defaults to 0. Better look at them in MetaTrader, there you will see their actual names and data types. Like it is here:

The Name Of The File On My Computer is traderdreamnew.mq4.

I am naming the indicator correctly. I just added the 10 inputs, but the author said I only required 3 with the rest shown as 0?

The EA is not loading at all now it shows errors?

[MIKEIKE]

I entered the 0's in the missing parameters and the EA loaded to run, but it is not executing buy signals?

Well, if everything is ok the indicator should appear on the chart automatically. Then the buffers matter
