Problem with exporting data to csv

Hey coders, I am having problems with exporting data. Exporting data which can be calculated from current candle works just fine and doesn't cause any problems, but when exporting data from indicators,which must go through data multiple times to update data until it becomes a constant(via iCustom() fuction) , causes a problem which shows only in csv file ,that is, none of the data from that indicators was exported. What is the problem?

   for(i=0;i<Bars;i++)

      buff[i]=val;

However , would you mind checking my example, whether it's written correctly, still having problem even with indicator that works fine. Indicators data is saved in buffer with index 0. for(i=0;i<Bars;i++) val = iCustom(NULL,0,"FILE_NAME",0,i); buff[i]=val;

for(i=0;i<Bars;i++) {
   val = iCustom(NULL,0,"indicator_name",0,.....,i);
   buff[i]=val;
}

{quote} iCustom format should be: iCustom (NULL, 0, "indicator_name", parameter1_value, parameter2_value, parameter3_value, ...... 0, i); Also, you need to enclose statements inside curly braces if there is more than one statement to be executed inside the for loop, thus: for(i=0;i<Bars;i++) { val = iCustom(NULL,0,"indicator_name",0,.....,i); buff[i]=val; } In your example, only the first statement (val=iCustom...) gets executed inside the loop, and the second statement (buff[i]=val) gets executed only once, after the loop is complete.

Sorry, I gave everything I've got and still it only returns 0. I've attached 2 indicators, first ,"tales " is a simple indicator with one loop , reads the size of tales of each candle and second indicator "export" tries to read one tale of candle via iCustom() from "tales" indicator. Please have a look.

{quote} I changed your iCustom() statement as shown below. Then recompiled and got the result shown in the screenshot. Looks OK to me. Sorry, but if you need more help you'll need to find somebody else.

{quote} Hi fx analysis, Could you please modify "tales indicator" to include symbol and mtf inputs so that a chart-in-subwindow can be set up? The idea is similar to this line chart indicator http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...42#post9488042 The idea is to study strength of the Major currency by setting up 7 sub-windows of tales with different symbols lined up in one chart along with any currency strength indicator.

{quote} Thank you very much for modifying the code. The text printed on the chart doesn't show the symbol, TF and price, making it difficult to compare the symbols or TFs. The Line chart picture earlier attached by me shows these values printed at the top left corner. Tales 2 indicator shows autosymbol input with false/true values. When to use false and true?

{quote} Use autosymbol = true if you want indicator to detect current chart, if you want to enter chart symbol manually then turn to false. Did some changes. {file}

{quote} The changes you have done are good now. But there is some error on my part. I thought Tales is representing price bars. It is visualising something else and is not providing the price bar matrix for comparision. I think this indicator if modified with inputs for TF, symbol and printing the symbol, TF and price just like you did with Tales will do the comparison job competently. If you have time, please do the modifications for the attached indicator. Thanks. I will do the exploration and send you video showing how I will actually do the...

The idea is simple: Avoid impulsive trading by entering into currency pairs likely to gain momentum , up or down direction wise. Indicators will provide you a plot (not a sure-shot profit plan) to time your trades without fear or unreasonable expectations. The strategy is suitable chart screen watchers for making 15-20 pips in day-trading effortlessly and 50-60 pips during news events by trading GBPJPY, GBPNZD, GBPAUD or similar pairs with high average daily trading range of at least 150 pips. Stop-loss will be as per your own capacity to bear a...
