Hello there!

Quick question, I know there are a ton of these, but I hope someone cares enough to help me out.

My current EA logic looks like this;

Inserted Code
double signaldown=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"OS",2,1)
double signalup=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"OS",1,1)
(both value's 1 & 2 are a number).

Now;

- I only want signaldown to trigger if value 2 > 4

- I only want signalup not to trigger if value 1 > -4

How do I do this?

Sorry if i'm not clear enough, not typing in my mother-tongue.
1 and 2 in your iCustom() call refer to the indicator buffers 1 and 2. So just use

if (signaldown > 4) // do something

if (signalup <= -4) // do something

Thanks for the answer!

I tried this;

Inserted Code
int down=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"OS",2,1)
int up=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"OS",1,1)

if (down>4)
{double signaldown;
}

if (up<=-4)
{double signalup;
}

It doesn't give any errors when compiling, however it also doesn't trade (no errors in the log).

Is the code correct (should I look for the mistake elsewhere)?
Are you positive that the values returned from iCustom are ever actually outside the range of -4 to +4?
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Yes, I also tried lower values and tried using the current value (bar 0)
Exactly what values are returned?

You are not assigning any values to signalup or signaldown...
Old Benjamin was right
You are right guys, the logic itself was all wrong.

Works like a charm now, thanks for the help!

Also congrats with the 1000 posts CodeMeister.
