EA to show indicators

 

Is there a way to have an EA display the indicators it is using while it is running?

I'm not talking about attaching the indicators to the chart seperately, because the EA changes the values of the indicator on the fly, based on different factors. I mean displaying the indicator exactly as it is called in the code, similar to the way it displays the indicators after a backtest in visual mode has completed, but I want to see them while it is running.

 

The only way I know is to make a template for the indicators and settings that the EA uses (attach extra indies for different settings if necessary) and save that template under the same exact name as the EA (except use .tpl instead of .mq4 or .ex4). Then, it will automatically load the template when you visually backtest.

 

Star the EA

Then place the same indicator with the same setting on the same chart, or code the EA to output the Indicator current value to the screen with something simple like the Comment (""); fuction
