MQL4 Custom Indicator from CSV File - Is this possible?

[Bradford Hall]

What I want to create seems very simple in concept, but I am having a difficult time figuring it out looking at tutorials online.

I want to create a Leading indicator that would plot a line for different parameters.

How should I arrange my data to accomplish this?  I have the Year, Month, Weekday, Day#, and other strings, parameters I want to plot.

YEAR	MONTH	Weekday	DAY#	Variablexyz etc.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
