Communication between indicator and expert advisor

[[Deleted]]

Dear Forum,

I'd like to design an expert advisor, that makes decisions based on information from indicators.
For example Indicator01 notices a good opportunity and alerts the expert advisor.
The Expert advisor checks this information with other Indicators, to further estimate chances.

In the API I found no way, how an indicator could alert an expert advisor,
nor how an expert advisor could query an indicator for information.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank You!

Thank you very much. That should allow an Expert Advisor to call an indicator :)

Is the other way also possible? An indicator alerting an Expert Advisor (waking him up)?

You could simply build the Indicator code into your EA.

No need, the same tick that updated the indicator will call the EA

Rapor, Roeder,

thanks for your help!
I think I should be able to pull this one off now.
