help with iStochastic MTF

Hello,

I'm working in a custom indicator, loaded on 1H chart (timeframe);
In it, until now, I have several conditions (indicators) checked in that timeframe for go long/short;

I want to introduce a condition based on 4H Stochastic, but if I put:

iStochastic(NULL, 240, 5, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, i);
iStochastic(NULL, 240, 5, 3, 3, 0, 0, 1, i);

it can't work properly, because i is the loop counting 1H bars.

So is it possible, and how can I do it?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
You would have to use ArrayCopySeries() my friend.
Just think about it very good, and I hope you everything goes well with you.

Thank you for the advice.

But in theory, if I use iCustom to call a MTF Stochastic set to 240 (4H), will I be getting the same results?
Because that's a lot simplier!
Thank you.

Just for the record, if someone looks for this issue in the future, it works.
You just have to be carefull with the parameters you insert.

the context for iCustom is:
double iCustom(string symbol, int timeframe, string name, ..., int mode, int shift),
where "..." is the extern parameters from the custom indicator you will use.

So if you use a MTF_Stochastic with the following extern parameters:
Timeframe;
KPeriod;
DPeriod;
Slowing;
MAMethod;
PriceField;

In my case, I would first assume it gives:
double iCustom(NULL, 240, "MTF_Stochastic", 240, 5, 3, 3, 0, 0, 1, 0) (for main line);

but no, it's:
double iCustom(NULL, 0, "MTF_Stochastic", 240, 5, 3, 3, 0, 0, 1, 0).
The first timeframe is from iCustom, meaning where you want it to put your custom indicator;
The second timeframe is from the MTF_Stochastic, meaning what do you want it to calculate.
