I'll include ATR function in the base classes so it will not be necessary to call an indicator.

No, I haven't solved it. Or actually I can solve it by cutting out the indi call and substituting it with actual indi calculation, then it compiles without problems.

I'll upload the files to repo, I did this conversion with hourly low/high man Niek in mind, would be great if he would test it out.

Footon, did you solve the problem?

If you can share your desktop with TeamViewer or at least at Skype, I may find the reason for the failure.

I downloaded the files from the forum. Put them in FSB, exported an EA again and it compiled and run in MT.

I'm using FSB Pro v2.7.3 and Expert_version 20.

If you do the same, it must compile. You must have "AverageTrueRange.mqh" in "User Files\MT4 Files\MQL\Forexsb.com\Indicators" folder by default.

Yes to all questions.

Do you copied the files I attached to the previous post on the correct folders? Do you reloaded the cs SuperTrend indicator in FSB?

Compiles without problems. I'm baffled.

Can you try my experet. It runs in both MT4 and MT5.

Re: Calling standard indicator in mqh fails

I tried it on MT5, same issues are there too. A bit more global this is.

If anyone wants to help out, please download those 2 indi files, export and try compiling them. It would be somewhat helpful to know if I'm the isolated case here.

Thank you!

What kind of Metaeditor build are you using?

Thanks for looking into this, but bloody hell, it still won't compile on my end. MT compiler is daft on my end???

I don't know why it doesn't run on your comp. I just added the "//## Requires AverageTrueRange.mqh" code and the expert compiles. However another error appeared and I see you have fixed in the mqh file. The required ATR needs one bar more than the SuperTrend and probably this was the reason to add +1 to the firstBar in the mqh file. The problem was that the firstBar was not edited in the SuperTrend.cs file.

Please find the files attached. The changes are:
Added "//## Requires AverageTrueRange.mqh" on line 31 of the mqh file;

Added +1 to the firstBar on line 134 of the cs file.

int iFirstBar = iPeriod + iPrvs +1;

The expert compiles but gives another error with the calculation of ATR. I'll try to figure out what it happens and will upload the indicator file.

No problems, take your time.

It's not working, I've combined it this way and the other, but it's just not working. It might be a silly mistake from my side, but I can't locate it.
