Embed Indicator inside the EA

New comment
 

Is there a simple way to make and EA lanuch a  moving average indicator, include it in the  chart (on same chart where the EA is running)

and also create an additional window runnig and RSI oscillator.

So basically the EA source code should be enough to call some indicator charting (using user inputs from the EA input box)

Any ideas/alaternatives appreciated.

Thank you

For MQL4, it's not possible if it's embedded as a resource in the EA. As a resource, it is only possible for MQL5.

 

  1. Code has no eyes; they don't need to see the indicator on the chart, just the values. If you want to see it, you add it to the appropriate chart.

  2. There is no (and will not ever be) ChartIndicatorAdd in MT4.

    use ChartApplyTemplate() or go down the rabbit hole.
