EA loading & removing the indicator all over again??
Hi!
I'm trying to create an EA using this indicator: http://www.earnforex.com/mt4_forex_indicators/Pattern_Recognition_Master_v3.mq4
Anyway, the EA seems to be reeeeally slow, and I noticed that it is loading & removing the indicator all over again every new candle. In the
This is part of using iCustom. Another way is to embed the indicator into your EA - afterall an indicator is for visual purposes and as far as an EA goes, it does not have to "see" any charts, just the signals for orders execution
Thanks guys, that was it! As you can see there's quite much extern parameters in the indicator, and there was a stupid error with them in my EA.
Unfortunately the EA is still really slow in the tester, so the problem was not the reloading of the indicator, but the bad performance of the indicator itself. :=(
Does anyone know any other candle pattern indicators??
In fact, I just noticed that the loop in the start()- method of that indicator goes like this:
for (shift = 0; shift < Bars; shift++) {
...
Doesn't that mean that all bars are calculated all over again with every new candle?? Could this be done with some more effective way, so that only new candles are calculated..?

take a look at some of the indicators provided by metatrader and u will see some common codes to address this using IndicatorCounted()
int limit;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
//---- last counted bar will be recounted
if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
limit=Bars-counted_bars;
alguien que me pueda decir cual es la sintaxis para llamarlo a través de iCustom()
Gracias !!
