EA using indicator data - Professional Clarification Required.

 

Does an EA need to have the indicator placed on the graph to reference the data from the indicator?? If the indicator is only showing under navigator>custom indicators but not placed on the graph - is this enough??

This is a question that has come up because a guy says his EA runs without the indicator being placed on the graph; but by looking at the EA coding, it references the indicator file? Please clarify!

I don't feel to be professional but I think that no need to attach indicator to the chart (no need to place indicator on graph).

 

You can call the indicator with iCustom()

 

I thought so. Thanks guys for the feedback!
