icustom without indexbuffer value

I have an indicator that does not put anything into the indexbuffer. It calls out the values as 3 variables and writes the arrows as an object.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get these variables called using icustom so I can create an EA from the indicator?


Thanks.

If the objects have unique names you can use ObjectGet. If not then just add buffers to the indicator and put the values in the buffers.

Can you provide an example of adding buffers to an indicator.

I tried to do this as follows but I must have missed something.

Inserted Code
double TREND_UNKNOWN1 = TREND_UNKNOWN;
double TREND_BULL1 = TREND_BULL;
double TREND_BEAR1 = TREND_BEAR;

IndicatorBuffers(3);

         SetIndexBuffer(0,TREND_UNKNOWN1);
         SetIndexBuffer(1,TREND_BULL1);
         SetIndexBuffer(2,TREND_BEAR1);

For the object approach each object created is i+1 so there may be 200 objects created over the last 3 months with the name object1, object2, object3, object3+n --> object200.

i am only interested in the whether or not there is an object on the previous candle if so, place a trade (buy or sell depending on the object) else do nothing.

Is there a way to only look at the most recent object? How would i carry the object name of the previous candle over to the ea and only check that object?

thanks.

objTime = ObjectGet(ObjectName(ObjectsTotal(OBJ_ARROW)-1), OBJPROP_TIME1);

This will retrieve the time co-ordinate for the newest object of type arrow. The price co-ordinate can be obtained in a similar if desired.
