Seems like some ZZ-semafor variant.
It seems white circles are "3s" and red & green circles are the "2s" (with respect to original semafor).

The indicator uses 4 buffers (0-3).

Due to data window:

values for bottom white circles are in buffers 0 and 2,
values for top white circles are in buffers 1 and 3,
values for green (always at bottom) circles are in buffer 0,
values for red (always at top) circles are in buffer 1,

so,

if there's something in buffer 0, it's a bottom. if it's in buffer 2 too, it's a rock bottom.
if there's something in buffer 1, it's a top. if it's in buffer 3 too, it's a rock top.

so if you formulate your iCustom() call properly, there can't be any problem

My code:

sig_wave0 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,0,0);
sig_wave1 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,0,1);
sig_wave2 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,0,2);
sig_wave3 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,0,3);

With the above, you are in fact querying if there's a bottom (green or white) at the current bar.
To find a if there's a top on current bar, you just swap the penultimate parameter to 1 (ig_wave = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,1,0);

If you receive a price value in such a situation (there's a circle at current bar low), you're ok with your code. Next you'll want to check buffers 2 and 3 to determine if the bottom is a rock bottom or the top is a rock top (white circle)

The last argument is not the buffer index, as you probably think.
It's the bar index ('shift' in MQspeak).
So you're querying the current bar and another 3 bars back if there's a bottom.

If you're after the current bar, try this:
Inserted Code
sig_wave0 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,0,0);
sig_wave1 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,1,0);
sig_wave2 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,2,0);
sig_wave3 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Wave Entry Alerts", "",0,0,0,1,1,3,0);

Perfect, Its works!

Thank you a lot!
