Why can't ordersend() be used in custom indicators? And why can't custom indicator functions be used in EA's and Scripts?

How does one automate trades using custom indicators? I thought this was a strange limitation when I learned of it. Can someone explain how it is done? And why would these functions be mutually exclusive? Thanks for your help.

You use an Expert Adviser to call a Custom Indicator with the iCustom function

Thanks for your help. I understand now. Ea's are for trading and no mixing of the two functions is needed.
