@alphaomega @CPBonzo Excellent! Will try it out, and my apologies for the belated reply.

I want to use a custom stochastics indicator because the standard one lacks multi time frame functionality. The question is how can I define that the K line (main line) is below the D line (signal line)? When I open the custom indicator in a block, the option to choose the main or signal line (as provided for in the normal stochastics indicator) is missing:

This is the normal Stoch indicator where I can select the mode, main line or signal line to define K<D:

@l-andorrà The variable is defined as the sum of other variables:

sum = condition1+condition2+condition3

The conditions are either 1 (=true) or 0 (false).

If at least tow conditions are met (sum > 1), the block should have a positive output.

I cannot find the "sum" variable, or the other ones I created in the dropdown menu:

I am probably getting this wrong somehow..

@CPBonzo How can I use the condition block to compare to my "sum" variable? I cannot find anything about variables there. Could it work like this?

@l-andorrà Thank you, that is working like charm!

I am trying to have the symbol name in the subject line of an email alert, but all I get back is the plain text of the command, not the symbol.

@CPBonzo and @l-andorrà Thank you both for your comments. I will try to incorporate all of the mentioned issues in my next version. Just for clarification, if I set candle id = 1, will this be the closing price of the last completed candle?

If have tried again to solve the problem above with variables that are set to 1 if the respective condition is met (blocks 5-7), and another variable ("sum") that is the sum of the first 3 variables.

In block "2 of 3" I have tried to define that the the sum should be > 1 (meaning at least 2 of 3 conditions are met). The code is executing, but there is no arrow printed where there should be one.

I have also tried to achieve the same result with AND/OR expressions, but I think I need to hyphenate some blocks together, which I am not sure can be done:

Condition0 (Blocks 1-4) AND

(Condition1 AND Condition2) OR
(Condition1 AND Condition3) OR
(Condition2 AND Conditon3)

My apologies for the many edits.

@l-andorrà Thank you for responding. The error was that testing stopped due to a critical error in the EA. Today I recompiled it and it started working again. I wanted to make a comment that it is working again, but could not locate the question in the forum. My bad, but thank you anyways!

The following simple strategy leads to ea programming errors in both of my MT4 terminals.

What could be wrong with it?

Thanks.

Yes that was it! Stupid mistake, but many of mine are..

Thank you for pointing this out, works as it should now.

I would like to to have the order block give a positive signal when the K line (Signal line) is greater than the D (Base) line. Somehow this is not working. I do get arrows, but they do not observe the above rule. Signal should be given on the first tick of each bar, since last candle close is not possible, as I understand.

@l-andorrà Great, thank you for replying!

I have defined 3 variables that are each set to 1 (int) when the 3 respective conditions give a positive signal. My strategy requires that at least 2 of the 3 conditions are met. Normally I would define a 4th variable that is the sum of the other 3. Thus, if that variable is >1, the strategy would be executed. I just cannot find a function which would allow this, and would be glad for any suggestions.

Hi,

I would like to set the variable "confirming1" of int type to 1 when the condition of the block is met. I am not sure if this is the right way:

Edit: I found the block "change variable", I think that will do what I want. My apologies!

But if anybody would like to comment what the variable sidebar does, I would be grateful.
