DAily range to my Expert advisor

shashi6666 · Jun 30, 2017

hi,
i imported daily range to my EA USING icustom. i want to generate signal if daily range is above 100 and today is above 10 and less than 50.
i wrote code like , but i am not able to get required output. can anyone help this.
and also can anyone help while importing technical indicator ...can you tell me how should i do it.
code is as follows

MQL4:

bool dailyrange()
{
double adr= iCustom(NULL,0,"Daily Range PeterE",10,1,1);
if (adr >=100)
{
return(True);
 
}
Else {
return(false);
}
 
}

this is my daily range mql4

MQL4:

That indicator has no output buffers, it is not possible to use it in the EA with iCustom().

how do i do that...is it possible

Enivid · Jun 30, 2017

The indicator uses chart objects to draw its values. You need to read the objects with ObjectGet() function to find the values in the EA.

should i add objectget() function in EA instead of iCustom or in indicator........ thanks for the reply

Enivid · Jul 1, 2017

You do not need to use the iCustom() call in your EA - you need to attach the indicator to the chart before attaching the EA. The EA should use ObjectGet() function to get the indicator readings.

hi ,
thANKS IF YOU ARE backtesting for six months or older.....how can i do ,then

Enivid · Jul 2, 2017

I am not sure. Perhaps, if you use also iCustom() call to let the Strategy Tester know that you need the indicator, it will load it during the backtest, so that you have the access to the chart objects.

hi,
i set the buffer in indicator to get values
#property indicator_buffers 2
#property indicator_chart_window

extern int NumOfDays = 10;
extern string FontName = "Courier New";
extern int FontSize = 10;
extern color FontColor = Black;
extern int Window = 0;
extern int Corner = 0;
extern int HorizPos = 5;
extern int VertPos = 20;

double pnt;
int dig;
string objname = "*DRPE";
double ADR[];
double today[];

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int init() {
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
SetIndexBuffer(0,ADR);
SetIndexBuffer(1,today);

pnt = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT);
dig = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS);
if (dig == 3 || dig == 5) {
pnt *= 10;
}
ObjectCreate(objname,OBJ_LABEL,Window,0,0);
return(0);
}

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int deinit() {
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
ObjectDelete(objname);
return(0);
}

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start() {
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int c=0;
double sum=0;
for (int i=1; i<Bars-1; i++) {
double hi = iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i);
double lo = iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i);
datetime dt = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i);
if (TimeDayOfWeek(dt) > 0 && TimeDayOfWeek(dt) < 6) {
sum += hi - lo;
c++;
if (c>=NumOfDays) break;
} }
hi = iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_D1,0);
lo = iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,0);
if (i>0 && pnt>0) {
string objtext = "ADR = " + DoubleToStr(sum/c/pnt,1) + " (" + c + " days) Today = " + DoubleToStr((hi-lo)/pnt,1);
ObjectSet(objname,OBJPROP_CORNER,Corner);
ObjectSet(objname,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,HorizPos);
ObjectSet(objname,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,VertPos);
ObjectSetText(objname,objtext,FontSize,FontName,FontColor);
today = (hi-lo)/pnt;
ADR= sum/c/pnt;
//ArrayResize(today,i+1);
//ArrayResize(ADR,i+1);

}
return(0);
}

now i try to use icustom but it is return value
2147483647

double dailyavrrange()
{
double ADR = iCustom(NULL,0,"Daily Range PeterE",NumOfDays,FontName,FontSize,FontColor,Window,Corner,HorizPos,VertPos,0,0);

return(ADR);
}
dont know what mistake i am doing

When you assign something to an array, you have to specify the array element number in the square brackets. Change this:

MQL4:

today = (hi-lo)/pnt;
ADR= sum/c/pnt;

To this:

MQL4:

today[0] = (hi-lo)/pnt;
ADR[0]= sum/c/pnt;

i added like this but its not working

It will not work with [i]. Will probably work with [0].
