Hello,
It's an Expert.
Why this EA does not display my "indicator" on the chart?
Thanks,
Pierre
You are mixing two different constructs: indicators and EA's.
If you want to see visual data on a chart, create an indicator. MetaTrade created indicators to encapsulate calculations, efficiently, and to visually display the results. You can then have an EA pull data from the indicator's buffers using iCustom().
I think perhaps some of my earlier posts on having an EA calculate data internally may be confusing. Most of the time (99% of the time) I use indicators for my calculations. Only very rarely do I do calculations internally inside an EA. That is only when the visual aspects of the indicator are not needed.
I recommend you keep indicators and EA's separate until you have an overriding reason to not do so.
