hope this doesn't sound silly

 

When an adviser/advisor is made active on the chart, such as a MACD expert. Does the indicator need to be on the chart aswell or is it programmed into the code.

And if so, can it be the the standard MACD indicator or does it need to come from the CUSTOM indicators list?

Cheers

NO... The indicator does not need to be present on the chart for the expert Advisor to work... The EA will call the indicator internally and read its values. Even if you place the indicator on the chart, it will not affect the EA.

As for the MACD, you can call the default MACD indicator with the iMACD command or you can call a custom MACD indicator using the iCUSTOM command.

Hope that helps

 

Thankyou

 

I'd like to enter my own MACD values and test the EA on a small account. Can someone help?
