Calling a custom indicator to MT4 Expert

[Chewbaca]

I have been using the indicators that come with Metatrader 4.

I have been able to call them simply by for example using the following statement for Stochastic.

Stoch=iStochastic(NULL,0,30,5,12,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0);

However, I acquired an indicator(ADXdon) that does not come with MT4 and want to add it to my expert. I cannot call it the same way I call the Stochastic indicator.

This indicator in essence tells me when not to trade because the market is flat. When it is below 20 I don't trade. It works well manually.

How can I call this indicator from the expert if it doesn't come with Metatrader?

Salam Chewbaca,

In this case you have to use the iCustom function.
