How do I use the Super Trend Indicator in my EA?

Hi,

How do I use the Super Trend Indicator in my EA?

I would like my EA to open buy order when the line flips from red to green, and to sell when the line flips from green to red.

Hey, I tried accessing it with another EA using iCustom but, for whatever reason it doesn't work. I have no problems placing trades, but the information is not switching in the buffers the way it should, so it bypasses them is if they're not there. I tried adding a couple of other buffers based on the flag and flagh signals, because these are the ones generated when it changes state. Still no luck in getting the EA to read them though.

Maybe someone who knows a bit more about indicators would know why?


ETA: Updated per details below ...

Okay, that was a bit silly. I included the # sign in the referent to the indicator and it didn't belong there. That's because I was using an iCustom access from another EA as a template and inadvertently left it in. Now it seems to work fairly well. I also modified the EA so it will open only one trade after the signal switches, because that seems to be the most effective. It also won't open a trade if you open the EA in the middle of a trend, and it will wait until it changes. This is more or less how it works anyway. I also recommend using M30 time frame, at least to start, for this is where I did most of my testing.

The update is included in the post above.

Also, for anyone who is interested, don't forget to download the SuperTrend indicator into your indicator folder.

Not to toot my horn a whole lot (or, maybe I am? ), but I incorporated the SuperTrend indicator into this EA and system here.

Or, maybe you just don't know how to access it? What are you trying to do with it ... access it through an EA? I may in fact want to incorporate the mtf version in the system I'm working on (above) and might take a look at it later.

I don't claim to be an expert though so, I can't guarantee anything.

Hi,

What is the code to find out whether the previous bar line is red or greed?

if(????)
{
SuperTrendShift1green = true;
}
