I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge
{quote} Without wishing to pry, why would you not just retrieve the spread directly from within the EA? I'm presuming you want the spread in an index buffer to use an iCustom call...?
{quote} if i knew how to code i wouldn't be here
{quote} I was trying to get to the bottom of what you're after, because it doesn't make very much sense. Nevermind, I'll jog on
{quote} and yes, the purpose is to use iCustum calls. i'm using and EA builder and i can't modify the source code, i can't retrieve the spread directly, thats why i need this external indi
#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window
double sprd[];
int OnInit()
{
SetIndexBuffer(0,sprd);
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_NONE);
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
}
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
const int prev_calculated,
const datetime &time[],
const double &open[],
const double &high[],
const double &low[],
const double &close[],
const long &tick_volume[],
const long &volume[],
const int &spread[])
{
sprd[0]=(double)SymbolInfoInteger(NULL,SYMBOL_SPREAD);
return(rates_total);
} long sprd = SymbolInfoInteger(NULL,SYMBOL_SPREAD);
{quote} Well, this will return the current spread if that is all you want
{quote} odd, it works perfectly fine in one of my mt4 while i only get a fix value of 2147483647 from the buffer on another platform

} {quote} Indeed a little oops... fixed.... kofix - will consider it when I have some time to spare.... imho - too many lines... Cheers {file}
{quote} The red text doesn't come from the indicator I posted. I think maybe you have an old/different indicator also called Spread which generates the red text you see. Try loading up this version (it just has a different name Sprd) and change your iCustom call accordingly. See if that remedies the situation. {file} {file}
