Passing values via Object.

[Forex Trader]

FYI: It appears that it is possible to pass values from to the EXPERT and INDICATOR via the Object function instead of the iCustom() only function.

For example: One can ObjectCreate() an Arrow named "Open Order1" at specific bar/tick from an INDICATOR and look for it at EXPERT every tick by ObjectGet(). Conversly, the EXPERT can respond by ObjectSet() and the INDICATOR can look for it by ObjectGet.
In addition, you can passs values on the fly from Terminal to both INDICATOR and EXPERT via Insert Text without stopping trading session.

global variables work faster

global variables work faster

Hi Slawa,

I do not know how much time are we talking about, however in some applications the advantage of the Object over Global may be that it is assign to specific price/time event coordinates where the Global Variable is not.

For example: Providing that you have simple interpreter routine in your Expert/Indicator you can place an Arrow from Terminal and assign an instruction what to do at that specific time and price.

So you may steer your Expert based on a real times events observations of the chart without Stopping and Restarting the system.

Of course I am not sure if the system is design to support this inherent concept because some values are set on initialization only but some are not.

This feature would be advantages to these traders who are experienced with working from the charts and have limited knowledge in programing.
