for external parameters

Code: Select all

input int barsToUse = 1;
enum enTimeFrames
{
         tf_cu  = 0,                                               // Current time frame
         tf_m1  = PERIOD_M1,                                       // 1 minute
         tf_m5  = PERIOD_M5,                                       // 5 minutes
         tf_m15 = PERIOD_M15,                                      // 15 minutes
         tf_m30 = PERIOD_M30,                                      // 30 minutes
         tf_h1  = PERIOD_H1,                                       // 1 hour
         tf_h4  = PERIOD_H4,                                       // 4 hours
         tf_d1  = PERIOD_D1,                                       // Daily
         tf_w1  = PERIOD_W1,                                       // Weekly
         tf_mn1 = PERIOD_MN1,                                      // Monthly
         tf_n1  = -1,                                              // First higher time frame
         tf_n2  = -2,                                              // Second higher time frame
         tf_n3  = -3                                               // Third higher time frame
      };
input enTimeFrames            inpTimeFrame     = tf_cu;            // Time frame to use 

and for indicator call

Code: Select all

longTrend= iCustom(NULL,0,"! G Channel (mtf + alerts + arrows + candles + btn)",[b]inpTimeFrame[/b],"gc b1",200,0,0,true,2,clrRed,clrLime,true,1,3,3,6,clrMediumSeaGreen,clrOrangeRed,clrDimGray,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,2,2,10,10,1.0.1.0,clrDodgerBlue,clrSandyBrown,true,0,1,35,35,80,22,"Arial",10,clrBlack,clrDimGray,clrLime,"G Chan",14,barsToUse)

To be honest haven't done an EA this way but it should work.

Here is the EA using G channel as trend indicator and MTF option along with stepRSI as a pullback entry.
I used the Buffer8 as trend filter for G channel as Buffer14 did not work.
I am attaching the indicators and EA mql4 code here.
I am still working out profitable settings but this code for G channel is working for an EA.
