You only concentrate on the bottom line, if its blue you need to look at a long position if its red you need to look at a short position.

Can you double check if buffers are updating correctly? I noticed that all buffers showed the same values even if the colour on the plots was changing. I think you have set all DTR buffers to a constant value and only updating the color indexes.

//--- indicator buffers
double DTR[];
//--- indicator handle
int DTR_Handle;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
   DTR_Handle = iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Donchian Trend Ribbon", inp_donchian_channel_period);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert tick function                                             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTick()
  {
      if(CopyBuffer(DTR_Handle, 21, 0, 100, DTR) < 0)
        {
         PrintFormat("Error loading DTR - DTR data for %s, code %d", _Symbol, GetLastError());
         return;
        }
  }

Code: Select all

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Function: Check if market is Open                                |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool MarketOpen()
  {
   datetime from = 0;
   datetime to = 0;
   datetime now = TimeCurrent();
   uint session_index = 0;
   MqlDateTime today;
   TimeToStruct(now, today);
   if(SymbolInfoSessionTrade(_Symbol, (ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK) today.day_of_week, session_index, from, to))
     {
      MqlDateTime from_time;
      MqlDateTime to_time;
      TimeToStruct(from, from_time);
      TimeToStruct(to, to_time);
      int from_time_seconds = from_time.sec + from_time.min * 60 + from_time.hour * 3600;
      int to_time_seconds = to_time.sec + to_time.min * 60 + to_time.hour * 3600;
      int now_seconds = today.sec + today.min * 60 + today.hour * 3600;
      if(now_seconds >= from_time_seconds && now_seconds <= to_time_seconds)
         return(true);
      return(false);
     }
   return(false);
  }
