Attached is a MACD True indicator by David W. Thomas and it looks good. How can I access the values of each in coding a test script? My attempts have come to nothing. Any help? Where I am I wrong when scripting
double m = iCustom(NULL,0,"MACD True",MODE_MAIN,1);
double n = iCustom(NULL,0,"MACD True",0,MODE_SIGNAL,1);
double p = iCustom(NULL,0,"MACD True",0,MODE_EMA,1); //and I have no idea how to get the histogram value
Thanks inadvance,😞
double m = iCustom(NULL,0,"MACD True",MODE_MAIN,1);
double n = iCustom(NULL,0,"MACD True",0,MODE_SIGNAL,1);
double p = iCustom(NULL,0,"MACD True",0,MODE_EMA,1); //and I have no idea how to get the histogram value
Thanks inadvance,😞

Hi CupOtea,
I know the MACD True, use it myself... :)
The indicator stores the following values:
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE);
SetIndexBuffer(0,MACDLineBuffer);
SetIndexDrawBegin(0,SlowMAPeriod);
SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_LINE,STYLE_DOT);
SetIndexBuffer(1,SignalLineBuffer);
SetIndexDrawBegin(1,SlowMAPeriod+SignalMAPeriod);
SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_HISTOGRAM);
SetIndexBuffer(2,HistogramBuffer);
SetIndexDrawBegin(2,SlowMAPeriod+SignalMAPeriod);
So buffer 0 stores the value for the MACD Line, Buffer 1 the value for the Signal Line, and buffer 2 the value for the Histogram.
So you can try this. I have not tested it, but it should work. Just remember to replace "period", "method" and "price" with the values you want:
YourVariable = iCustom( NULL, 0, "MACD True", period, method, price, 0, 0 ); // BUFFER 0 - MACD Line
YourVariable = iCustom( NULL, 0, "MACD True", period, method, price, 1, 0 ); // BUFFER 1 - Signal Line
YourVariable = iCustom( NULL, 0, "MACD True", period, method, price, 2, 0 ); // BUFFER 2 - Histogram
Hope this helps. :)

Hi,
Sorry I made a mistake in the code. Try this, I tested it and it seems to work.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Script program start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
{
double MACDLineValue;
double SignalLineValue;
double HistogramValue;
MACDLineValue = iCustom( NULL, 0, "MACD True", 12, 26, 9, 0, 0 ); // BUFFER 0 - MACD Line
SignalLineValue = iCustom( NULL, 0, "MACD True", 12, 26, 9, 1, 0 ); // BUFFER 1 - Signal Line
HistogramValue = iCustom( NULL, 0, "MACD True", 12, 26, 9, 2, 0 ); // BUFFER 0 - Histogram
Alert("MACD Line: " + DoubleToStr(MACDLineValue) + ", Signal Line: " + DoubleToStr(SignalLineValue) + ", Histogram: " + DoubleToStr(HistogramValue));
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The "Alert" function is just to test and compare the values to the Data Window values

Ok here is what I use...
MACD_True.mq4 (Indicator), other one is the sample script code.
Just a note... in the sample code I used "MACD True" as the indicator name.... the attached indicator does not have the space... use "MACDTrue as the name

I just noticed something... when I paste the code here it changes the double quotes to single quotes... probably why it does not work.... the indicator name MUST be between double quotes...
see the script sample, and remember to use the indicator name exactly as it appears on your PC...

I am somewhere there. I have installed in a different broker's MT4 and old MACD True is working. Yours too. I need to revisit my usual broker and find out why it aint working.
Thanks buddy.
