iCustom(NULL, 0, "SuperTrend",Periods,Multiplier,TimeFrame,0,1); //uptrend value


Code:
 
iCustom(NULL,0,"SuperTrend",10,3,0,1) //buffer 0 ie uptrend
 
iCustom(NULL,0,"SuperTrend",10,3,1,1) //buffer 1 ie downtrend



Code:
int start()
  {
//----
   
      ExtMapBuffer1[1] = iCustom(NULL, 0, "SuperTrend",Periods,Multiplier,TimeFrame,0,1);  //uptrend value
 
      ExtMapBuffer1[2] = iCustom(NULL, 0, "SuperTrend",Periods,Multiplier,TimeFrame,1,1);  //downtrend value
      
      if(Bid <= ExtMapBuffer1[1]) 
      {
         TrendDirection = "Up!";
      }
      if(Bid >= ExtMapBuffer1[2]) 
      {
         TrendDirection = "Down!";
      }
   
      Comment("UpTrend: ", ExtMapBuffer1[1], "n", "DownTrend: ", ExtMapBuffer2[2], "n", "Trade Direction: ", TrendDirection);
   
//----
   return(0);
  }
We are our own best indicator.

I have put the following for a call to the indicator, would this be correct to get the current price? It only works on the output of the bar I am asking (which is fine) I believe and does this seem right?

I added the Timeframe option in the indicator so I can switch through the timeframes...


I think I got it! 

I changed to the following and it is outputting fine!
