plot arrow above/below candles high/low, not ON candlestick

I have an indicator that plots an arrow below/above a candlestick whenever the candle has closed AND crossed over the moving average.

My problem:
The arrow should be ploted above/below the candle and usually it does so. But sometimes the arrow is ploted ON the candle, and that's my problem. What causes this and how can i fix this?
I realized that this happens usually when a candle lacks or has a very small wick/shadow.

Indicator and screenshot are attached.


And I also want to ask is the whole code correctly written? Any need of deinitialize anything etc?


Thank you!

If you modify the code as shown in the green highlights below, it will allow you to specify a number of pips above/below the candle high/low, where the arrows will be plotted. Not a perfect solution, but more of a simple workaround. Hope that helps.

Wow, That helps me. Thank you hanover.

I have another request though. How can we make variables to change the object?

The sample as below:



I wanted to change the arrowcode, but i don't exactly fluent with mql4

Hi Hanover, hope all's well with you. I know this is an old post and was wondering if you could help. I have an indicator that draws up/down arrows based on candle open/high/close etc, and I need it to plot the arrows even when the candle is still live, how do I do that?
