Re: iCustom help

 

Try this:

 

double bullsmain = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"AbsoluteStrength_v1.1",0,1);

double bearsmain = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"AbsoluteStrength_v1.1",1,1);

double bulls_sig = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"AbsoluteStrength_v1.1",2,1);

double bears_sig = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"AbsoluteStrength_v1.1",3,1);

 

The last "1" means it's calculated for the previous bar. This is the fastest way.

 

If you want to declare/change variables in the EA itself for this indicator, then add those and don't forget to include them in the beginning of the EA.

 

For more info see: http://docs.mql4.com/indicators/iCustom

 

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for the kudos...much appreciated!
