Three new functions have been added to the indicator code: buysignal(), sellsignal(), and getstringtimeframe(). These functions enable the indicator to generate buy and sell signals based on specific criteria.
The buysignal() and sellsignal() functions are called after the indicator calculation cycles in the oncalculate() block. These functions are used to set the values of the buybuffer and sellbuffer, which are the indicator buffers for storing buy and sell signals. It is important to set empty values in the indicator buffers as zeros or empty_value to ensure accurate signal generation.
The indicator is designed to make a single call to the buysignal() and sellsignal() functions within the oncalculate() block, ensuring efficient and precise signal generation.
