Small programming problem

Hey there,

I'm just struggling with a little problem for some reason , im trying to get the take profit and stop loss aswell as the success probability value from an indicator I purchased, I would wish to incorporate this value in my EA that I am writing , I am using the iCustom function but not to sure where to go from there any ideas or examples on this? The indicator displays the value on the screen and I would just like to get this changing value into my code...

Thanks in advance !

I think you need to reread the documentation on iCustom and work with a couple of examples. It would be best to write your own simple indicator and then call it from an EA to get the real feel for how it works. In your indicator be sure to include comments and labels as well as some kind of line.

My interpretation of your problem is that you are trying to do something that can't be done. My bet is the desired values are not in the indicator buffers but in the comments (text) or the objects (labels). Once you understand what I am talking about you will be OK.

hey xlr8er..... we would really need to see a screenshot or the name of the indicator.....

a screenshot would allow us to point you in the right direction as far as codemiesters point about comments (text) or the objects (labels). .....

attach the indicator to a chart and look in the objects tab for the list of all objects....... objects have a name and a value, you could use ObjectDescription("Stoploss") in that case...... your need the value.....

i'm not saying post the indicator itself..... that would be undesirable...... but it would really help if we knew the indicators name.....there is a good chance we already have it, and a ea built ......

bottom line, we need more to go on......h
