How can I separate the indicators from EA's

I have what looks like EA's that do not work, maybe they are actually indicators, and visa versa.

How can I tell which is a EA and which is an Indicator, or maybe I have EA's that just do not work?

 

xx.set files

I have xx.set files. They I just open them to read the settings to are these control files for the EA with the same name? how do the .set file work?

Did you note the indicators does not have "Common" Tab. You could start with that to classify your library.

About set files. Works by saving the preset of values. You could save your values for some EA on a set file.

finding all the signs for testing EA

Hi, I know there are logs for the time you turn Metatrader on and you can find the signs generated by your EA for the time you turn Metatrader on. What about those signs that you find on the chart at times you have NOT turned on Metatrader? I want to have a record of all the signs generated by a EA to test its efficiency. Can anyone help me?

Close the chart.
