Three new functions have been added to the indicator code: buysignal(), sellsignal(), and getstringtimeframe().
The buysignal() and sellsignal() functions are called after the indicator calculation cycles in the oncalculate() block, where buybuffer and sellbuffer are the indicator buffers for storing buy and sell signals. Empty values in the indicator buffers must be set to either zeros or empty_value.
It is recommended to use a single call to the buysignal() and sellsignal() functions within the oncalculate() block of the indicator code.
