Hey all chasing some help with the LSMA in color and its coding. Using an expert advisor builder and i add a variable (i.e LSMA in color) and choose one line to analyse, lets say green for the purpose of this example.

What i am unsure about it how to code the buy strategy. Basically i want to buy when the line equals green. As i am unsure about what it returns when line equals green this is where I'm struggling. Thoughts on how to go about this?

I've tried:
BUY when LSMA (green line) = 1

Thanks in advance
Dez

If it's the kind of indicator I'm thinking of you would use something like this.

double LSMAGreen = iCustom(NULL, 0, 'LSMA', Period, Method, Price, 0, 0, 1);
double LSMARed = iCustom(NULL, 0, 'LSMA', Period, Method, Price, 0, 1, 1);

string Direction 'None';

if(LSMAGreen != EMPTY_VALUE) Direction 'Long';
if(LSMARed != EMPTY_VALUE) Direction 'Short';


You could then open a sell if Direction Short or a long if Direction Long

Where it says LSMA in the iCustom function it need to be the exact name of the indicator.
You then need to provide values for all the values that can be set for the indicator.
I've assumed you have Period, Method and Price. These can be defined either as extern variables or hard coded into the lines.

I've set this to wait for a bar to finish painting as if it's the indicator I'm thinking of it repaints.

double index1 = iCustom(NULL, 0, 'LSMA in Color', 34, 1500, 1, Current + 0);
double index2 = iCustom(NULL, 0, 'LSMA in Color', 34, 1500, 0, Current + 0);
double index3 = iCustom(NULL, 0, 'LSMA in Color', 34, 1500, 2, Current + 0);

double Buy1_1 = iCustom(NULL, 0, 'LSMA in Color', 34, 1500, 1, Current + 0);
double Buy1_2 = index1 ;


double CloseBuy1_1 = index1 ;
double CloseBuy1_2 = index2 ;

Its not able to identify the color still 😞

Any thoughts?

You need to add some Comment lines into your code to display on screen the value of your variables in order to debug it.
