Do be aware that this EA does not close a trade upon an opposite signal, so both a sell and buy can be open at the same time.

ALPHA BAND-EA.mq4

 double lowerBand = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier, 0, 0);
 double upperBand = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier, 1, 0);

double lowerBand = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Alpha trend bands (mtf + arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier,14,0);   
double upperBand = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Alpha trend bands (mtf + arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier,13,0);

Code: Select all

 double lowerBand = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier, 0, 0);
 double upperBand = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier, 1, 0);

if calling the bands should be something like

Code: Select all

double lowerBand = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Alpha trend bands (mtf + arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier,14,0);   
double upperBand = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Alpha trend bands (mtf + arrows + candles + alerts)", BandPeriod, BandATRMultiplier,13,0);

Now the EA is working for both sell and buy trades. But the EA has the following issues
1) The EA Utilizes the default settings of the indicator and not the EA settings.
2) Close all trades on opposite signal is inactive.

Please do rectify the same.

2) Far as I can tell there was never a "Close all trades on opposite signal" setting in the EA.

Code: Select all

iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)",inp_length,inp_atr_multiplier,inpPrice,BandPeriod,BandATRMultiplier,15,BarToUse);

for bands:

Code: Select all

 double lowerBand = iCustom(_Symbol, _Period , "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)",inp_length,inp_atr_multiplier,inpPrice,BandPeriod,BandATRMultiplier,14,BarToUse);
 double upperBand = iCustom(_Symbol, _Period , "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts)",inp_length,inp_atr_multiplier,inpPrice,BandPeriod,BandATRMultiplier,13,BarToUse);

iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts",0,0,"alp b1",inp_length, inp_atr_multiplier, inpPrice,   15,BarToUse);

correct syntax is :

Code: Select all

iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Alpha trend bands (mtf +arrows + candles + alerts",0,0,"alp b1",inp_length, inp_atr_multiplier, inpPrice,   15,BarToUse);

also I think there will be an error reaching buffer 15 because it's not been defined correctly in the indi (only 14 buffers available)

EDIT : oh well it works now....

ionone wrote: Fri Jun 13, 2025 3:42 am you just need to add infos for the 15th buffer
like
#property indicator_buffers 15
#property indicator_color15 DodgerBlue
etc

mrtools wrote: Fri Jun 13, 2025 3:50 am Why, it is only used to give information of an uptrend or downtrend no reason to add coloring, and it is easily called by an iCustom call, if iCustom call is done correctly.
