I coded this lines for Trend Arrows but it does not works:
Could some expert coder help me pointing out where I am doing wrong?

double HGI_Trend_UpArrow = iCustom (NULL,0,"HGI_v16.04",false,false,30,false,true,false,false,false,true,"",
false,false,false,"",true,true,true,true,"","","","","","","Green","Crimson","Lime","Red","Lime","Red", "Gold","DodgerBlue","White",
3,0,0,3,1, 0, 0);

double HGI_Trend_DownArrow = iCustom (NULL,0,"HGI_v16.04",false,false,30,false,true,false,false,false,true,"",
false,false,false,"",true,true,true,true,"","","","","","","Green","Crimson","Lime","Red","Lime","Red", "Gold","DodgerBlue","White",
3,0,0,3,1, 1, 0);

bool HGI_Trend_UpArrow=false;
bool HGI_Trend_DownArrow=false;

if (iCustom(Symbol(),TF,"HGI_v16.04",  0, shift)!= EMPTY_VALUE) HGI_Trend_UpArrow=true;
if (iCustom(Symbol(),TF,"HGI_v16.04",  1, shift)!= EMPTY_VALUE) HGI_Trend_DownArrow=true;
//and so on.....

Code: Select all

bool HGI_Trend_UpArrow=false;
bool HGI_Trend_DownArrow=false;

if (iCustom(Symbol(),TF,"HGI_v16.04",  0, shift)!= EMPTY_VALUE) HGI_Trend_UpArrow=true;

If unsure, ask here or pm Tommaso for a description of what buffers hold what information.

Many 'custom indicators' are absolute abortions to try to work with - hence my nickname Crap Custom Abortions.

HGI is the absolute opposite of this - joy to deal with.

A follow up question to icustom.
I'm trying to determine if the Blue wavy is above or below, The
code below fails to compile with "Close - invalid array access" . Can you direct me to the correct input?

Code: Select all

 bool BuySignal() 
{
  ReadIndicatorValues();
 if (
   (HGI_Trend_UpArrow == true || 
   (HGI_Wavy_Blue == true && Close > HGI_Wavy_Blue))
     
   && TimeCondition()) return(true);  return(false);
}  

Thanks

It compiles & runs on backtest but no trades, just checking to see it runs & trades. It loads on charts but never trades. No errors or peculiar data in the expert and plenty of HGI alerts but still no trades. Any help would be appreciated.
I attached the screen shot with the alerts and the backtest run. I heard somewhere that HGI won't work on backtest, so I ran it on 12 pair for 3 days using H4, then I tried it on H1 still no trades.
Thanks
