iCustom call for Mouteki indicator

I was wondering if any real coders (ie coders who are not just simple hackers like myself) would be able to help with this:

The goal is to be able to see whether the upper trendline or lower trendline of the attached Mouteki indicator has been broken by price.

In order to do this, I need to figure out how to get the levels for each of these trend lines for the current / previous bar. (I have not decided whether I will want the EA to wait for the bar to close, or whether I will let it trigger a trade based on price breaking through on the current bar yet.)

Once I know these trend line levels, I can then compare with the current price and see whether the price is above the upper trendline or below the lower trendline.

My problem is that I don't know how to set up an iCustom call for this indicator to have it tell me the above required values.

Could someone more experienced than myself:

 

1. Reply with the iCustom function calls which will call the information required above.
2. Give a little background as to the process of deduction used so that this can be a learning experience for me and anyone else reading.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT:

I should also add that the EA I am wanting to incorporate this in is a multi-currency EA which runs off a single chart, so the currency pair that it will need to check the trend lines for may well be one that is not open on the terminal.

It would help a lot to post a screen shot of what you are referring to. I happened to have played with TD trend lines but not Mouteki, so I can guess at what you after.

First of all, the Mouteki indicator doesn't produce any useful indicator values in the usual sense, so using iCustom() is not appropriate. Instead it creates a bunch of Trendline objects. I believe the two you are interested in are LL_1 and HL_1, but you need to confirm this.

To do what you are trying to do, you use ObjectGetValueByShift() to obtain the intercept point of the trendline for a particular bar.

double price=ObjectGetValueByShift("LL_1", 1);

Edit - Objects from one chart can only be accessed by an EA that runs on that chart, so your idea for a multicurrency EA is not feasible.

@CodeMeister

Yes, this is what I was beginning to think also as I looked at it further today. Well, I can adapt the EA to be for a single pair and then just run one instance of the EA on each pair I want to trade. It is not the end of the world, it just will increase the processing burden.

Thank you for your insight!

If you really, really need to have a multi-currency version, you could incorporate the Mouteki code into the EA (don't reference objects). But this is not a trivial task and I would still recommend writing it as a single currency EA first and modifying it to work multi-currency.
