__Indicators has buffers. Every buffer has a value all the time, even when the indicator line (arrow, histogram) is not visible. In this moment the value of this buffer is 0 or 2147483647, it depends on how the indicator is programmed. 2147483647 is the biggest integer value and in MQL4 is presented by a constant called "EMPTY_VALUE". Not all custom indicators can be used in EA, it depends on the programmer as well. Some of the custom indicators may have values on their buffers, or value that does not change, and that's why I created this block "Levels tester...". Now, when you know what the buffers gives to the EA and when, it's a matter of conditions to create a proper trading signals.[/quote:2q6jx9hn]

Thank you now its clear for me

__So you have 2 buffers - buffer 0 (blue one) and buffer 1 (red one). I think your file is ok, if there are no errors. But if you run the backtester and after it's done you can see the indicator on the chart - then it works fine.

Well, not all custom indicators use their buffers to connect with EA. Some indicators are programmed only to be used in manual trading mode, so their buffers can return constant value all the time, or some weird values. That's why I made this block called "Levels tester..." - to see in real time what is the value of a single buffer. This block it's somewhere on the top.[/quote:104gf0gl]
