Help with TDFI Indicator for MT5
-
Hello all,
I'm trying to generate a buy signal when TDFI shows a above trigger up line and a sell signal when TDFI shows below trigger down line. On candle ID 1. The buffers show correct in fxdreema (I think) as TDFI, Buy, Sell, and flat respectively, with the data window in mt5 showing a strong buy as TDFI=1, and a weak buy as TDFI=2, a strong sell as TDFI=3, and week sell as TDFI = 4. Buffers 2, 3, & 4 (BUY, SELL, & FLAT) show 0 in data window when it appears on chart. I've used trace block as far back as 10 candles but it shows nothing on the chart. I can't get it to work as a stand alone signal, nor as a primary or secondary condition in my algorithm. I need help figuring it out. Thanks in advance.
Indicator ID on MQL5 website is 38643

The problem is the indicator. It repaints so badly! I strongly recommend you change that indicator.

Ah . Ok. How can I tell if an indicator repaints?

You need to use it on 1M chart on visual mode and then spend as much time as necessary looking at the chart. You will see that colours and objects are repainted AFTER they appeared for the first time. That makes the indicator completely useless when used inside a bot.

I have tried what you say and I can't see where the information of the indicator changes AFTER the candle has closed. Now it changes while the candle is forming, which is to be expected, but it does not change for closed candles. Green stays green. Red stays red. Grey stays Grey. So the buffer outputbshould be the same and readable. The problems I'm having is that I can't get fxdreema to read and display the buffer.

Did you check the KAMA indicator is not repainting either?
