very good ... thanks this helps .. so actually we can substract custom indicators and build a new indicator with Molanis

I did create a new indicator .. MathAbs ( signal1 - signal2 ) ... but it does not draw a line in the chart .. maybe the value is tooo small to show ... ???

i included the new indicator

In MetaTrader you cannot plot small numbers on top of the price chart because you won't see the line. You need to use the option to plot below the currency chart.

i did plot it below the chart ???

I tried all of your suggestions ( display the new indicator in a separate window and a new ea )... none did work .. ea was just to to test the opening of a buy order ... if i switch from fe H1 to H4 it opens a buy right away even if the formula calls for differential of smaller than 1 pip ( n) ...

... guess might be better in this case to learn programming with MQL4 instead of trying endless loops wih Molanis ...

I think you are in the right track. I will backtest it to see the ea behaviour. This takes some days though.

The indicator needs some changes
from
MathAbs(iCustom(NULL,0,"openhighest5",0,i))-(iCustom(NULL,0,"openhighest30",0,i))
to
MathAbs(iCustom(NULL,0,"openhighest5",1,i)-iCustom(NULL,0,"openhighest30",1,i))

The indicator builder tells you the signals like:
//***Read this first: Integration with Molanis Strategy Builder***
/*To integrate this indicator with Molanis Strategy Builder use the following modes:
Mode 1 = Higest of Open[i] with period 5;
*/
so mode 1 should be used
