external indicator in EA with local network agents

New comment
 

I have an EA that taps into an external indicator ex5 file. 

If i use local network agents (or even cloud agents) for optimization, will that external indicator be somehow available to those agents or will just spit out inaccurate passes?


Thank you

 

The indicator isn't part of your product. Therefor, the product can't use it except when running on your machine. Why does this surprise you when you try to use the cloud or Market Validation?

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.

thank you, that's what I figured.

What about custom settings for custom symbols, commissions, trading hours etc? are those transferred to the local cpus? I am aware custom symbols won't work with cloud cpus.
