Hello,
I had a buy executed on my ea but nowhere in my logic did it say to buy when mode2 shift0 < mode 2 shift1 on the Accelerator Oscillator. I'm trying to figure out what could have caused this can someone take a look at my strategy please. I have also posted a picture of chart.
Thank you.

As you already alluded, the problem is not your EA. I'm guessing this issue is being caused by your custom indi(s).

You can Print test the indi's. Again, go into the indi's mq4 file. Find SetIndexBuffer(0, somevalue) if you're EA uses mode 0 for example. Whatever your somevalue actually is, add it like so in a new line of code at the end of the page:

Print("mode0: ",somevalue);

Then watch your Experts tab down at the bottom of MT4 and you can see precisely what value mode 0 is returning to your EA.

ok thanks for the response

Have you seen the examples page at http://www.molanis.com/products/molanis ... rs-for-mt4 ?
It is easier to build one condition with one indicator, test it and then build on top. Also, if you trade the current bar you cannot look at the historical chart to check if the signals is right. The charts plot the value at the close and you trade at the open. Do not use the pair or time frame unless you want to create multi pair, multi timeframe eas. It is better to use the current symbol /time frame since the ea will work in any pair and in any time frame.
