Check out the new article: Ready-made templates for including indicators to Expert Advisors (Part 1): Oscillators.
The article considers standard indicators from the oscillator category. We will create ready-to-use templates for their use in EAs - declaring and setting parameters, indicator initialization and deinitialization, as well as receiving data and signals from indicator buffers in EAs.
Including indicators to an EA and using data from the indicator buffer in the EA is a fairly simple task, although it requires constant browsing through reference materials. We need to remember all the parameters passed to the indicator creation function, formalize some of them as EA inputs, introduce validity checks, etc. To obtain data, we need to write functions that return the necessary data from the desired bar. All this involves spending time on accessing help, entering the required variables into the EA, writing functions for receiving and monitoring data to determine signals, etc.
The purpose of this article is to create templates for including indicators to EAs. Let's look at indicators from the oscillator category, their input variables, creating an indicator handle and obtaining the required data from it.
