Wrong values received by MQL5 iCustom function

Question

I am trying to call the MQL4 indicator with MQL5 using iCustom() .

int test = iCustom(_Symbol,_Period,"ADXmagic.ex4");

I have copies the two buffers with number 0 and in the a and b of double type.

CopyBuffer(test,0,0,5,a);
   CopyBuffer(test,1,0,5,b);
   ArrayPrint(a);
   ArrayPrint(b);

But the output received is completely garbage and no values:

 6E+39    2E+92  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
4E+230  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
 6E+39    2E+92  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
4E+230  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
 6E+39    2E+92  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
4E+230  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
 6E+39    2E+92  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000
4E+230  0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000

Kindly, let me know am I correct on calling the indicator? Is there a flaw I made?

You cannot call ex4 files from MT5 I am afraid. And it is a bad idea even if that could be possible because MT5 indicators work faster then MT4 indicators.
