Help Please. How can I use the appearance of an arrow to call an order send function.

Help Please. How can I use the appearance of an arrow to call an order send function. ?? I am using a custom indicator.

OK. Here is the start of the indicator code.

All I need to do is enter a trade on the same bar as when the arrow first appears

############################

#property indicator_chart_window

#property indicator_buffers 2

#property indicator_color1 Blue

#property indicator_color2 Fuchsia

int gi_76 = 100;

int gi_80 = 75;

int gi_84 = 15;

double g_ibuf_88[];

double g_ibuf_92[];

int gi_96;

int gi_100;

int init() {

IndicatorBuffers(2);

SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_ARROW);

SetIndexArrow(0, 233);

SetIndexStyle(1, DRAW_ARROW);

SetIndexArrow(1, 234);

SetIndexBuffer(0, g_ibuf_88);

SetIndexBuffer(1, g_ibuf_92);

SetIndexEmptyValue(0, 0.0);

return (0);

#################################}

How can I call the arrow as the trigger for Order Send.

I tried this code, and of course it trades all the time. It looks at the arrow value, and not at the bar when the arrow appeared

if iCustom(NULL,0,"Entry",0,0)<(Ask)..... OrderSend........

Thanks

Without having the indy a bit hard to help but:

if (SetIndexBuffer(0, 0) >SetIndexBuffer(1, 0) ) Buy=true

if (SetIndexBuffer(1, 0) < SetIndexBuffer(0, 0) )Sell =true

this is not the proper code to call with Icustom but will give you some direction

Thanks Pheniox, here you can download the indicator

I am trying to code a robot using the signals from that indi and I am stuck with the Icustom call.

I havent checked the indicator, but those buffers have values only when the arrows appear, one buffer for buy, one for sell so if the certain buffer value is higher than 0 buy or sell should be sent

iCustom(NULL,0,"Entry",0,1) >0 ..... OrderSend....(e.g.:OP_BUY)....

iCustom(NULL,0,"Entry",1,1) >0 ..... OrderSend....(e.g.:OP_SELL)....

...,1) ---> it depends on indicator but if repaints on last bar, better to wait to close that bar than do trade

ea is working but indicator repaint signals, thanks for your help

Hi

I do not get it :D Do you still need help on this? :)
