That is not default setting and that is why you can not read that value with buffers explorer (you have changed the setting on the lower indicator - the setting read by buffers explorer and your displayed indicator are different). To access those values with specific settings you have to make iCustom() call with same parameter values
Nothing wrong with mrtools' indicator

As of why a general purpose buffer reader in metatrader 4 can not read values of an indicator attached to a chart with arbitrary settings please read the metatrader documentation - it simply does not work as metatrader 5 (in which it would be possible)
Hi, mladen, will be possible to update this indicator of yours to have some of these properties below,
1... adjustable/extendable Lines (using Trendlines) from the fractal points instead of the arrows
2. option to choose how many fractal lines can appear in the past ..eg ... show only last n ( n =3 or n=4) past fractal lines
(trendlines from the candle tip extended to screen end far right)
3.. only updates fractal lines after candle close... (no fractal line on the candle before the current candle or on the current candle, as a fractal point, is only confirmed after candle close)
4... fractal lines update as market price moves forward, (deleting previous ones) while keeping the last 3 or 4 fractal updated lines constant on the chart
posted picture below gives a feel for what it would look like ....thanks chief
