I found a zigzag indicator that doesn't repaint. The indicator will display three signals when there is a turn of the zigzag. The value of the three signals are stored in three buffers. Now I want to create an EA that will Ordersend a buy or sell when it indicates the third buffer value. The problem right now is that I cannot get the value for the third value.
I think that I should use the iCustom but it does not return the value, therefore my OrderSend does not go to the server
When I use the same iCustom on the standard ZigZag indicator I am able to send our the orders. But I cannot seems to get the value for this custom indicator. Appreciate your help.

double bothzigzag = iCustom(NULL,0,"DoubleZigZagNoRepaint",true,6,24,3,1)
