How to use the Ichimoku Scanner Bridge in expert advisors:

This bridge is a fast and lightweight version of Ichimoku Scanner indicator (a separate file from the main indicator) that you can use in the code of your expert advisors and indicators to check different conditions of ichimoku indicator for all metatrader timeframes.

Graphical objects are removed from the bridge but all necessary options are preserved so you can control the parameters like in the main indicator.

There are 13 buffers in the bridge that you can load them with iCustom function in your EA or indicator code. Each buffer is related to one of the conditions in the main indicator and shows that condition is correct for which of the metatrader timeframes.

So in your EA you will have 13 buffers and each buffer has 9 value for 9 timeframe of MT4 (21 values for the 21 timeframe of MT5), the first value for M1 and the last value for the MN1 timeframe. For example, you can name buffers as:

• Tenkan_Direction[]            // For Tenkan Direction condition
• Tenkan_Kijun_Position[]    // For Tenkan/Kijun Position condition
• Tenkan_Kijun_Cross[]       // For Tenkan/Kijun Cross condition
• Price_Kijun_Cross[]          // For Price/Kijun Cross condition
• Price_Cloud_Position[]     // For Price/Cloud Position condition
• Cloud_Direction[]             // For Cloud Direction condition
• Price_Leaves_Cloud[]      // For Price leaves Cloud condition
• Senkou_A_B_Cross[]       // For Senkou A/B Cross condition
• Senkou_A_B_Position[]   // For Senkou A/B Position condition
• Chikou_Price_Position[]   // For Chikou/Price Position condition
• Chikou_Price_Cross[]      // For Chikou/Price Cross condition
• Break_High_Low[]           // For Breakout from H/L condition
• Trend_Pullback[]             // For Trend Pullback condition

Each of the above buffers will have 9 (for MT4) or 21 (for MT5) values.

For MT4 the range of arrays will be from 0 to 8, 0 for M1 timeframe and 8 for MN1 timeframe. For example:

• Tenkan_Direction[0] shows the direction of the tenkan line for the M1 timeframe.
• Price_Leaves_Cloud[5] shows the price position relative to ichimoku cloud for H4 timeframe
• Break_High_Low[8] shows if the price breaks the previous high/low in the MN1 timeframe.

For MT5 the range of arrays will be from 0 to 20, 0 for the M1 timeframe and 20 for MN1 timeframe. For example:

• Cloud_Direction[0] shows the ichimoku cloud direction for the M1 timeframe
• Tenkan_Kijun_Cross[4] shows if the tenkan line crosses the kijun line (and the cross direction) in the M5 timeframe
• Trend_Pullback[14] shows if we have a pullback in the H4 timeframe

To see how to implement the bridge in your code, please refer to the sample EA you received with the bridge.

A few notes:

• After you set the parameters for a symbol, you can save the settings and use them for other symbols.
• Do not enable "Breakout from previous High/Low" and "Trend Pullback" conditions together, these conditions do not occur at the same time.
• In addition to the above parameters, you can also enable/disable conditions and timeframes by clicking on their cells on the panel, and you can reset them to the above parameters by changing the chart timeframe.
