MQL5: Market - Can you sell an expert advisor that uses custom indicator?

I want to sell an expert advisor but can't really understand how it will work/upload if its uses or calls a custom indicator.

Long ago the main purpose of computer programs was doing heavy mathematical calculations and processing large amounts of data. But with the increased power of computers, priorities has changed. Now, between two programs with identical functionality, a user chooses the one that is easier to work with. Nowadays it is not enough to write a program...
 
Like the above comment says, if you load the indicator as resource, it will wrap the indicator executable inside of the EA executable, so the EA ex5 then does not need to externally locate the indicator anymore. 
But you NEED to own the indicator ex5, it can't be one from the market which you didn't compile.
 
Q. Does this mean whatever you “wrap” (images and sound) that are included in custom indicator will all also be wrapped? The new mq5 EA file could be sent to a new user and it would be 100% complete ?  I was building a silly game,  used images and thought user would 100% have to download a separate image file. Looks like I’m wrong.

As long as the Custom Indicator also embeds anything it needs access too as resources, then yes, the final Expert Advisor executable with the embedded custom indicator, will be totally self-contained.
