Thank you, MrTools excellent addition to the summed indicators!
Would it be possible to add an arrow buffer?would like the indicator to draw a buy arrow when the first blue histogram bar appears, and a sell arrow when the first red histogram bar forms?
thankyou
Added the arrows, but not able to add it as a buffer, would not be visible due to the histogram, far as I'm aware. If you are wanting to use it in an EA can simply call the histogram itself. Buffer # 0 = bullish and buffer # 1 = bearish.

Summed indicators can be be a bit heavy on the CPU especially in older PC's so head into the indicator's options and at the very bottom, under "
Bars to use
" choose 450 bars. Adjust lower if needed.

Thank you, MrTools, for creating this

Yes, I intended to use it in an EA, and I'm now able to retrieve the buffer correctly from the histogram as you explained.

Is it just the arrows version causing the problem?

It shouldn't be. I have similar specs to you and 16GB RAM and have no issues, just a slight lag when changing timeframes.
How many instances of the "Summed" indicator do you have on your chart?

Got it, it's because of the Offline charts.
What's making you use Offline charts by the way? For Renko or backtesting?
