BACD Cloud EA Example

Hi forex trader,

In this blog I want to show you how to use BACD Cloud buffers to build a simple expert advisor. If you want to know more about BACD Cloud, then here are some important links about that could be helpful for you:

The most important buffers can be found in the description section, like in the next photo:

Here is a coding example about how to build an expert advisor depending on MQL4 iCustom() function.

This code is just an example about how to use the indicators buffer in building an expert advisor and It was not written to test the indicator ability to trade on real accounts.
