and are you working in MQL5 project while importing this indicator? because for me it is working when I try import it:

next work only with buffer 0, like this for buy:

and for sell set condition < ...
-
Yes i am useing it in the mq5 project and when i import it the name of the indicator is different its called hilo but then again i did what you told me to do i put in gann_hi_lo_activator_ssl as the name and it came up with one buffer and no dater type so i put in the dater type as you shown above and set the buy and sell conditions like you said and then put the ea in to my metertrader ea folder and the ea was not there so i checked the code of the ea compiled it and there was like 8 errors
-
No idea where is your problem, but instead of this indicator you can use 2 moving averages (this indicator is copy of those two MA), one aplied to High price and the second for Low price ... than use condition like this:

for sell the opposite

@miro1360 will this be the same as the indecater that i wanted
