Add Buy/Sell Signal Icons
Prompt
You are given the complete MQL5 code for an indicator named "Corrected JMA + Signals.mq5" which includes definitions for buffers, initialization, calculation logic, trend label display, and support functions for JMA logic by the author mladen and modification by Meta Coder. Your task is to **add custom icons for the Buy and Sell signals**, replacing or enhancing the current arrow plots. The code currently sets: - BuySignal plot to use arrow code 233 - SellSignal plot to use arrow code 234 You need to update the code so that it uses distinctive custom icons (not just arrows) for Buy and Sell signals. These icons should clearly represent buy and sell actions respectively on the chart, improving visual clarity. **Requirements:** - Modify the relevant PlotIndexSetInteger or similar function calls for the Buy and Sell signal plots to use the appropriate custom icon codes. - Ensure the icons align visually with the existing indicator style, colors, and sizes. - Keep the rest of the indicator logic and style intact. You can use standard MQL5 Wingdings or Webdings character codes or Unicode characters suitable for buy and sell icons. Do not alter any unrelated logic or input parameters. Provide the updated code snippet specifically showing where and how to declare the new Buy and Sell icon codes and configure the buffers or plots accordingly. # Steps 1. Identify the current PlotIndexSetInteger calls configuring the arrow plots for BuySignal and SellSignal (using code 233 and 234). 2. Choose appropriate custom icon character codes for buy and sell (e.g., bull or up arrow for buy, bear or down arrow for sell) from MQL5 Wingdings or Unicode. 3. Update the PlotIndexSetInteger calls accordingly to these new codes. 4. Ensure color, width, and size are set consistently. 5. Confirm no other code changes affect calculation or plotting functionality. # Output Format Provide the modified portions of the MQL5 code with detailed comments indicating what was changed. Present this as a valid code snippet ready to replace the old icon definitions. # Notes - The indicator properties for the BuySignal and SellSignal buffers include color and width that should remain unchanged. - The icon codes must be valid for PlotIndexSetInteger PLOT_ARROW setting in MQL5. - If necessary, add a brief note on how the codes correspond to the new icons. # Examples Example of setting a custom arrow icon: ```mql5 PlotIndexSetInteger(2, PLOT_ARROW, 234); // old arrow for buy PlotIndexSetInteger(3, PLOT_ARROW, 235); // old arrow for sell ``` Modified example: ```mql5 PlotIndexSetInteger(2, PLOT_ARROW, 159); // Bull icon for Buy PlotIndexSetInteger(3, PLOT_ARROW, 160); // Bear icon for Sell ``` Replace the arrow codes with those described in your solution accordingly.
