Discussion of article "Timeseries in DoEasy library (part 47): Multi-period multi-symbol standard indicators"
Artem, hi there !
Thanks for your contribution to kodobase and for your work !
I understand correctly that this is not a template, in which I can enter any symbol and time I need ?
It is suitable only for inbuilt indicators in MT ?
What about custom indicators?
I would very much like to have a template, in which you can enter any indicator, including custom indicators.
Thank you!

I would like to have a template where any indicator, including custom indicators, can be inserted.
Thank you!
The library is not a template and is intended to help you develop your own programmes for MetaTrader.
The article describes how to use the library to create a multi-period multi-character custom indicator, which displays data of a standard indicator (on the example of AC) with a symbol and period different from the symbol/period of the current chart. Other standard indicators will be described in subsequent articles.
And it is the standard indicators that this part is devoted to.
To work with third-party (not created with the help of the library) custom indicators, you need a slightly different approach. And this will be described in further articles.
Thank you for helping newcomers

New article Timeseries in DoEasy library (part 47): Multi-period multi-symbol standard indicators has been published:
In this article, I will start developing the methods of working with standard indicators, which will ultimately allow creating multi-symbol multi-period standard indicators based on library classes. Besides, I will add the "Skipped bars" event to the timeseries classes and eliminate excessive load from the main program code by moving the library preparation functions to CEngine class.
The full indicator code is provided in the files attached below.
Compile the indicator and launch it on EURUSD M1 after setting GBPUSD M5 in the indicator settings, which means displaying AC indicator data (calculated on GBPUSD M5) on the current EURUSD minute chart:
GBPUSD M5 with standard AC indicator is also opened for comparison.
