Why?

iCustom is the better way to use an indicator in an EA, there is no need to embeed the indicator code in the EA.

I want to put the EA up for sale, but I can't because of the indicator that is separate from the EA. Is it possible to sell an EA that uses the icustom function?

#resource "\\Indicators\\indicator.ex4"

iCustom(NULL,0,"::Indicators\\indicator.ex4",0,0);

In this way the indicator will be embedded in the EA

You only need to change the indicator name in it, using the one with ::

Thank you my friend.

Don't try to do that. There are no buffers, no IndicatorCounted() or prev_calculated. No way to know if older bars have changed or been added (history update.)
Just get the value(s) of the indicator(s) into the EA (using iCustom) and do what you want with it.
You should encapsulate your iCustom calls to make your code self-documenting.

There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked. Why didn't you state that originally?

Friends please help me with one more thing:

I was able to use the indicator with the icustom () function, I need the EA to send the buy / sell order ONLY AT THE TIME THE ARROW APPEARS.

I used the following command:  indicator (0.1)> 0, and the problem is that he already sends the purchase order based on the previous arrow.

Do not double post. I have deleted your other topic.

 indicator (0.1)> 0

What is this supposed to do?

The indicator (0.1)> 0 indicates that the indicator is trending upwards.

The purchase function looks like this:

bool BuySignal()

  {

   bool signal=false;

   if(indicator(0,1)>0)

     {

      signal=true;

     }

   return signal;

  }

As it stands, the EA opens the first purchase or sale transaction based on the previous arrow. But I want him to open the buy or sell transaction only when the new arrow appears, how it will open the transactions only when the arrows appear.

Please use the code button (Alt S) when pasting code.

So it is not indicator(0.1)  it is indicator(0,1)

We don't know what your function does, so how are we supposed to help?
