Hello Molanis,

I have a problem is that, I can Create many variables as I need in the mtvar icon. but how do I select more than one variables in TA+? because I can only select one variable at one time, and I won't be able to select more than one variables at the same time.
kindly let me know how to do that!

Thank you in advance!

All variables are available in the TA+ icons. From the drop down you can select only one.
For example if you want TP to be a variable, you select the variable from the drop down next to TP. You cannot assign two variables to be TP - in coding that does not make sense because if the variables have different values you do not know which value should be used by TP

With custom indicators you need to really understand the indicator inputs in advance. To add variables to the custom indicator you need to do it manually. If you have time, I will wait a couple of weeks for the new beta that makes things easier.
Otherwise, post a strategy file .mol file, using a custom indicator, post the indicator .mq4 file and we can guide you. Post a complete .mol file / ea that makes sense.

Hello Molanis,

Thank you for your reply!

I intend to learn how To add variables to the custom indicator manually first, because I do not know when the new beta will be release.

I want to combine two indicators to create an EA, the indicators I am using are Super Trend & i-fractals-ex.

It has two variables for Super Trend indicator. (Nbr_Periods and Multiplier).
it has one variable for i-fractals-ex indicator. (Fr.Period).

Total they have three variables, but I am be able to add two variables only. The other one I don't know how to add in.

Now I attached the indicators file and complete .mol file. Kindly let me know how to do it manually.

Thank you in advance!

I think I missed this post. The fractals indicator repaint and in some cases go back up to 3 bars so they are not reliable. They look good after the fact but do not work as well in live trading. I will create a strategy only with the other indicator. I will use the 3.2. beta to be released soon so please bear with me for a while
