An indicator is not a code library in a sense comparable to a DLL. The only external interface which an indicator provides is via the iCustom() function in MQL4. In other words: you can't call functions inside the indicator; you can programmatically read its output (i.e. the values which are displayed for it in MT4's Data window).
So now my questions is there anything like the depends.exe in Windows for a ex4 file, or can I decompile it somehow to identify the prototypes of the exported functions, is there a possibility to insert hooks in a ex4 file(if I can not decompile it) to call an external function, like create an alert, inside the Expert Adviser on an condition inside the indicator?

Hi,
I bought a indicator, I sent 3 mails to the support department asking for the prototypes, I received always excuses till I answered them on their statement that only programmer can create an Expert Adviser, that I am a programmer and I would like to have the prototypes for my indicator, since then I get no more response.

Thank you in advance.
