Indicators and EA

[Gerard William G J B M Dinh Sy]

Good morning
I was wondering when you run an EA, demo or reel on the terminal if you like to see the indicators that trigger the EA?

Because technically, the EA does not display the indicators

THANKS

In strategy-tester it may show.(if the coder did not use TesterHideIndicators)

yes I know that the indicators are displayed in the strategy tester.
My question is really about execution on the trading terminal

[Conor Mcnamara]

may have to call this function in OnInit

If the indicator is on the main chart window:

ChartIndicatorAdd(ChartID(), 0, handle); 

If the indicator would be displayed in the subwindow:

ChartIndicatorAdd(ChartID(), 1, handle); 

that's all I know, maybe someone else had something else to suggest

Hi

If you trade regularly the same EA with same indicators you can also use templates and create a template with used indicators and even with the EA . Add this to the chart you want to trade on. So, at once you start the EA and chosen indicators.

Best Regards

Good morning
That answers my question well
If the EA uses a homemade indicator it will not be displayed
