This version introduces new input parameters and enhances the indicator's functionality with three new functions: buysignal(), sellsignal(), and getstringtimeframe().Also recommended: BrainTrend2 Signal Indicator - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
The buysignal() and sellsignal() functions are added to the end of the indicator code, and calls to these functions are placed after the indicator calculation cycles in the oncalculate() block.
The syntax for these function calls is as follows:
- buysignal("braintrend2sigalert", buybuffer, rates_total, prev_calculated, close, spread);
- sellsignal("braintrend2sigalert", sellbuffer, rates_total, prev_calculated, close, spread);
Here, buybuffer and sellbuffer represent the indicator buffers for storing buy and sell signals. Zeros or empty_value should be set as the empty values in these buffers.
It is recommended to use a single call to buysignal() and sellsignal() within the oncalculate() block of the indicator code.
