How to publish indicator & EA MQL5

New comment
 
I have an EA that uses an indicator for signals how do I publish them both?
 
You have to embed the indicator code into your EA and publish it as a single EA file. If you do not have the indicator source code there is no way you can publish it.

  1. 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 EA/indicator (using iCustom) and do what you want with it.

  2. Just embed the other indicator(s) inside your indicator/EA. Add the CI(s) to your code as a resource.

    #resource "\\Indicators… iCustom("::Indicators…

    Be aware that using resources is 40x times slower than using CIs directly.

    Also make use there are no spaces in the path.
