...How did you get out the whole structure how trade_confirmation.ex4 should be called correctly by iCustom? I save setting then use the setting to fill values in iCustom() but with that method still missing a few elements...
That's standard usage of iCustom(). Saving the settings and applying them to the function call is the correct way. You have to look at the indicators "Data" window together with the "Visualization" dialog. It helps you to find the indexes of the buffers you want to access. The number in the "Visualiztion" dialog is the buffer index.

OK, I understand fully now, so that is the right way to work with iCustom. If that, then in theoretically if I change the V 0.2 to the lazier mode V 0.2.1 then it still should work. ... and Yes It does work like V 0.2. So I do understand the matter fully now.

Only one more last question to this issue: after each strategy test on iCustom() I need to restart MT4 to do the next test properly? WHY? memory loss? stack overflown?
I made mistake in thinking V 0.2 would not work, later I realised that mistake, so I retested each attempt as V 0.2 should most likely work I dont need more variantes, I could have saved time if I restart MT4 after each iCustom() test run

You don't have to restart the terminal between consecutive tests. If something blocks you from doing so one of your indicators/experts is not properly coded for the tester. Ask the developer to fix it.
