This version includes (newer drop down box) Multi-timeframe + Interpolation, Alerts, Shadow Option & more.

PS: If you would like to download a template with the indicator set up as a Wave using the 34 EMA, see here: 34 EMA Wave using the Super Smoothed Averages indicator for MT4.

PPS: There is also a version with Floating Levels here: Super Smoothed Average with Floating Levels for MT4.
Hi Jimmy,

Awesome job with this indicator! I have been trying to make a small EA based on this indicator. When the indicator becomes green, it will send a buy order and vice versa (Red = Sell). Though I am having an issue with the indicator buffers while using iCustom. Buffers #2 and #3 always seemed to be returning Empty_Value, while all other buffers return zero. This is the same case always regardless if the indicator is green or red.

Here is a small piece of EA which I used to extract the buffer values during backtest in MT4 Strategy Tester.

Code: Select all

#include <stdlib.mqh>

extern int                AvgPeriod = 25;
extern ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE AvgPrice = PRICE_CLOSE;
extern ENUM_MA_METHOD     AvgType = MODE_EMA;
extern bool               AvgSup = false;
extern bool               alertsOn = false;
extern bool               alertsOnCurrent = false;
extern bool               alertsMessage = false;
extern bool               alertsSound = false;
extern bool               alertsPushNotif = false;
extern bool               alertsEmail = false;
extern color              ColorUp = 65280;
extern color              ColorDown = 11823615;
extern color              ColorShadow = 6908265;
extern int                  LinesWidth = 1;
extern bool               Interpolate = true;

void OnTick()
{  
   double Buffer0 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 0, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 0 is: ", Buffer0);
   double Buffer1 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 1, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 1 is: ", Buffer1);
   double Buffer2 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 2, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 2 is: ", Buffer2);
   double Buffer3 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 3, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 3 is: ", Buffer3);
   double Buffer4 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 4, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 4 is: ", Buffer4);
   double Buffer5 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 5, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 5 is: ", Buffer5);
   double Buffer6 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 6, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 6 is: ", Buffer6);
   double Buffer7 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 7, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 7 is: ", Buffer7);
   double Buffer8 = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Super smoothed average trend 1.2", AvgPeriod, AvgPrice,AvgType,AvgSup,alertsOn,alertsOnCurrent,alertsMessage,alertsSound,alertsPushNotif,alertsEmail,ColorUp,ColorDown,ColorShadow, LinesWidth, Interpolate, 8, 1);
   Print("The value of Indicator Buffer 8 is: ", Buffer8);
 }
When I run backtest using this code, the tester journal gives me results as shown in the image below. Also, the indicator doesn't show up on the chart once we finish/stop the backtesting in Visual mode.

Will you please advise me on how to get around this? Thank you very much for your time.
