Hello
Could you look at my indicator ? What do I have to change in its code to use this indicator and build an EA ?
thanks

This version is from SteveHopwoodForex.com. I think the name says it all. If you haven't seen the link to SHF at the 10.2 thread at ForexFactory, then you may not know that NanningBob has an entire thread dedicated to the entire 10.2 EA: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=308304.

Do you get an error when you import the indicator? are you importing the mq4 file?

I just realized the 2 indi's above have the same code aside from 2 instances of an object label in the original. They should import exactly the same.

I use mq4 file and get an error: molanis can't read the custom indicator. Indicator works well on charts. I know some older thread in this forum and I think there is a problem wit a code.

Well that certainly helps... it was the object indeed.


1. In the attached version (tested ok) this line is commented out:

//extern string OtherTimeFrames = "Select below 0=current tf,1,5,15,30,60,240,1440,10080,43200";


2. In the "for EA" version (untested) this line is no longer an external string:

string OtherTimeFrames = "Select below 0=current tf,1,5,15,30,60,240,1440,10080,43200";


3. And in the original version (tested bad) this line is an external string:

extern string OtherTimeFrames = "Select below 0=current tf,1,5,15,30,60,240,1440,10080,43200";


I bet #2 would have worked if we tested it (see 4 posts ago). FYI: The complete error notification in SB tells us that the external is trying to equal an object which is a tip off to the source of the problem. Screenshots are always helpful if you are able.

Thanks a lot for the solution. It works
Unfortunately there is another problem with this indicator. My EA does not understand orders relating to values below 0-line, e.g. sell below -0,5.

Try selecting Mode 6. In the code, it is labeled as the Slope value but hidden via DRAW_NONE.
