Code: Select all

Another way

Code: Select all

#define _doNothing 0
#define _doBuy     1
#define _doSell    2
int start()
{
      int doWhat = _doNothing;
      double trendc = iCustom(NULL,0,"step one more average 2.3 mtf",11,BarShift); // Buffer 11
      double trendp = iCustom(NULL,0,"step one more average 2.3 mtf",11,BarShift+1); // Buffer 11 
     if (trendc != trendp)
         if (trendc == 1)
                doWhat  = _doBuy;
         else  doWhat = _doSell;
         if (doWhat ==_doNothing) return(0);
Hi MrTools,

thank you for your reply, I have modified your code like below:

Code: Select all

#define _doNothing 0
#define _doBuy     1
#define _doSell    2

int OneMoreAverageIndicator()
  {
   int i;
   int BarShift = iBarShift(NULL,TimeFrame,Time[i],0); // BarShift 0
   int OneMoreAverageSignal = 0;

      int doWhat = _doNothing;
      double trendc = iCustom(NULL,0,"step one more average 2.3 mtf",11,BarShift);  // Buffer 11 gives 1 and -1
      double trendp = iCustom(NULL,0,"step one more average 2.3 mtf",11,BarShift+1);  // Buffer 11 +1 bar
     if (trendc != trendp)
         if (trendc == 1)
                doWhat  = _doBuy;
         else  doWhat = _doSell;
         if (doWhat==1) OneMoreAverageSignal=1;
         if (doWhat==2) OneMoreAverageSignal=-1;
             
         if (doWhat ==_doNothing) return(0);
   return (OneMoreAverageSignal);
  }
It is placing long and short trades in backtest, but in visual mode it is not looking as expected.
It is not placing trades even tough the buffer explorer is showing 1 and -1 signal on buffer 11.
