My recomendation: Since you have the source code, remove that bunch of externs, and just call it with no parms, with the 1 buffer that you want data for.

double iCustom(string symbol, int timeframe, string name, ..., int mode, int shift)

double dMonthlyWave = iCustom( NULL,0,"long ass Neely name here",0,1);
1=shift, probably what you want if you are calling it from an EA,
but if you are doing backfill from another indi then this would be the bar index.
SetIndexBuffer(0, monthlyWaves); // mode is buffer number
SetIndexBuffer(1, monthlySwings);
SetIndexBuffer(2, weeklyWaves);
SetIndexBuffer(3, weeklySwings);
SetIndexBuffer(4, dailyWaves);
SetIndexBuffer(5, dailySwings);
SetIndexBuffer(6, quarterDailyWaves);
SetIndexBuffer(7, quarterDailySwings);

Thanks kenz...

Actually , am trying to get(read/write) the Historical data(values at dots and bends) of the dailyswings to .csv --using the (trying to modify)export script, so i was looking for the call function/code to the fx indicator--

The bad news is you can not use this indicator in EA or use iCustom with it. Because it has no output data. (Monitor the data window you will find nothing).
Stop asking ChatGPT for broken MQL code. VisualMQL it instead.

thanks for reply Code--

But when i look at the data window for the FX neely--i see values of the dots and bends of the daily swings (i.e value 5's ) , so there 's no way i could get to them ?...

To get these values for the current bar:

double quarterDailyWaves = iCustom(NULL,0,"FX5_NeelyElliotWave_v1.2",segment_0,enableCustomDailyClose,dailyCloseTime,
 segment_1,showMonthlyWaves,showWeeklyWaves,showDailyWaves,showQuarterDailyWaves,segment_2,monthlyWavesColor,
 weeklyWavesColor,dailyWavesColor,quarterDailyWavesColor,segment_3,monthlySwingColor,weeklySwingColor,
 dailySwingColor,quarterDailySwingColor,6,0);
double quarterDailySwings = iCustom(NULL,0,"FX5_NeelyElliotWave_v1.2",segment_0,enableCustomDailyClose,dailyCloseTime,
 segment_1,showMonthlyWaves,showWeeklyWaves,showDailyWaves,showQuarterDailyWaves,segment_2,monthlyWavesColor,
 weeklyWavesColor,dailyWavesColor,quarterDailyWavesColor,segment_3,monthlySwingColor,weeklySwingColor,
 dailySwingColor,quarterDailySwingColor,7,0);

Someone mentioned that the values of the swings(which is what am looking for) might be stored in buffers 1 ,3 ,5 ,7-so you think this is wrong ?

segment_1,showMonthlyWaves,showWeeklyWaves,showDailyWaves,showQuarterDailyWaves,segment_2,monthlyWavesColor,
[size=2][FONT=Courier...

this is the code line for the Data exporter--

StringSubstr(TimeToStr(iTime(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i)),0,10),

StringSubstr(TimeToStr(iTime(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i)),11,5),

iOpen(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i),iLow(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i),

iHigh(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i),iClose(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i),

iVolume(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,i),iCustom(SymbolName,PeriodMinutes,"RSI",0,i)

For the OLHCV and RSI


--so all i need to do is to follow/include all those lines for the fxneely values ?
i.e
iCustom(NULL,0,"FX5_NeelyElliotWave_v1.2",segment_0,enableCustomDailyClose,dailyCloseTime,
segment_1,showMonthlyWaves,showWeeklyWaves,showDailyWaves,showQuarterDailyWaves,segment_2,monthlyWavesColor,
weeklyWavesColor,dailyWavesColor,quarterDailyWavesColor,segment_3,monthlySwingColor,weeklySwingColor,
dailySwingColor,quarterDailySwingColor,6,0);
