Hi,

I've got some problems with the settings for the custom indicator. I'd like to integrate the "RMI" Indicator. Here you can see the parameters of the indicator:

Code:
#property indicator_separate_window
#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_color1 DodgerBlue
#property indicator_level1 15.0
#property indicator_level2 85.0

extern int RMIPeriod = 5;
extern int Shift = 13;
double g_ibuf_84[];
double g_ibuf_88[];
double g_ibuf_92[];

int init() {
   IndicatorBuffers(3);
   SetIndexBuffer(1, g_ibuf_88);
   SetIndexBuffer(2, g_ibuf_92);
   SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_LINE);
   SetIndexBuffer(0, g_ibuf_84);
   string ls_0 = "RMI(" + RMIPeriod + ")";
   IndicatorShortName(ls_0);
   SetIndexLabel(0, ls_0);
   SetIndexDrawBegin(0, RMIPeriod);
   return (0);


What do I have to set into the fields?

Symbol = current
Timeframe = H4
Custom fields = ???
Mode = ???
Shift = 1

Do I see the indicator in the chart after running the test?

Many thanks

The integration is explained here:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10
Here the easiest way to find the indicator inputs:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14

The indicator inputs are the extern variables:
extern int RMIPeriod = 5;
extern int Shift = 13;

mode - Line index. Can be from 0 to 7 and must correspond with the index used by one of SetIndexBuffer functions.
In plain English, if you have one indicator line use 0.

In short:
Custom fields = "RMI",5,13
RMI is the indicator name. (file name without the .mq4)
Mode = 0

ok, thanks. :idea:

When I open the chart after running the backtest I can see the standard indicators but not a custom one. Is that correct?
