The documentation my MQL4 seems to not be very clear on this: how does my EA get data from my custom technical indicator? Is there an example? I have been making good progress writing my EA and writing my indicator, but I just completely hit a wall when it comes to the EA accessing the buy/sell signal from my indicator. Is this even possible?
I do wish to keep the indicator and the EA separate.
I know the EA calls iCustom to invoke the indicator, but I can't for the life of me figure out how the indicator passes a value back to the EA. If someone can point out what docs cover this specifically or better yet an example EA/indicator combo that does this I'd really appreciate it. And if my EA ever goes live, you can run it for free.
Yes I have posted this message under both EA and indicators, as it seems to blur the line between them.
