Bb_macd_cct (Indicator using it)

Hi,
I've tried a dozen things before posting this. I've used iCustom with many indicators but with this one it seems imposible to me.

I'm trying to create an indicator which uses BB_MACD_CCT (attached).

I'm using BBM = iCustom (0,0,"BB_MACD_CCT",FastLen,SlowLen,Length,StDv,1,i)

However I don't get any results.

What I'd want is to know when the ball is red or blue.
For example (in english, not MQL4):
If (BBM = red) THEN display a red bar.
If (BBM = blue) THEN display a blue bar.

I'm doing this:

double A1 = iCustom (0,0,"BB_MACD_CCT",FastLen,SlowLen,Length,StDv,1,i);
double A2 = iCustom (0,0,"BB_MACD_CCT",FastLen,SlowLen,Length,StDv,2,i);

if (A1>0)
ExtMapBuffer1[i]=1;

if (A2>0)
ExtMapBuffer2[i]=1;


Any ideas?

.

if you need dots (bbmacd values,arrows)-it's buffers 0 &1(not 1&2)

Thanks, but the problem still remains.
The problem is that I can't get a value out of:

iCustom (0,0,"BB_MACD_CCT",FastLen,SlowLen,Length,StDv,0,i)
or
iCustom (0,0,"BB_MACD_CCT",FastLen,SlowLen,Length,StDv,1,i)

It just doesn't display a thing.
.

When I have similar problem I simply take the whole indicator code and upgrade the other one to show both, and most of the times, that works!
The only problem could be the number of buffers, you said that your BB indi have 4 buffers.....so if the other one have less than 4 buffers,
your good to go!

Regards

I tried it but it didn't work.
I'd just need someone that has done an iCustom() of BB_MACD to tell me if I'm missing some number or what am I doing wrong.
Thank you.

Hey Q,
I like this indicator...what are you trying to use it for?
Cheers

I want to compare two of them with different parameters, plus a third one which I have already working.
So it would be:

If BB_MACD(1)=up and BB_MACD(2)=up, then display green bar

Any ideas?

the first component of the icustom function call should either be NULL or Symbol(), not 0 as you have it in yours.

Thanks, but it didn't work.
+ it can be a 0

Please take a long time trying to locate this indicator alert! bbmacd alert

You can get to me??

Thank you!

Why don't you quit wasting everyones time and post your code up. Right now everyone has to guess at what your error is instead of being able to actually troubleshoot the problem. Not just snippets of code but all of it. It could be anything from not setting a value for i or any of the other variables to it being nested in a loop that is never called.

You mean like in the FIRST post? There's the MQ4.

Isn't it ironic that before your post nobody had wasted anyone's time?

No. You are absolutely wrong (not partially but ABSOLUTELY wrong). Why don't you study a bit more of MQ4 and stop wasting everyone's time?

hi,

if all that you want to know is the red and blue dot status, just compare current macd value with the previous one.

MacdCurrent=iMACD(NULL,0,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0);
MacdPrevious=iMACD(NULL,0,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,1);

if(MacdCurrent > MacdPrevious) //--> same with blue dot, long signal?

if(MacdCurrent < MacdPrevious) //--> same with red dot, sell signal?

hope this help
