How to convert indicator codes to EA?

New comment
 

Hi

I want to convert an indicator to an EA. This is taken from the mql4 Help example on the function IndicatorCounted(). What do one do with the variables counted_bars and limit in an EA?

thks

int start()

{

int limit;

int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted(); //---- check for possible errors

if(counted_bars<0) return(-1); //---- the last counted bar will be recounted

if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;

limit=Bars-counted_bars; //---- main loop

for(int i=0; i<limit; i++)

{ //---- ma_shift set to 0 because

SetIndexShift called abowe

ExtBlueBuffer=iMA(NULL,0,JawsPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
ExtRedBuffer=iMA(NULL,0,TeethPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
ExtLimeBuffer=iMA(NULL,0,LipsPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
} //---- done
return(0);
}

This code is for indicator, you cant convert indicator directly to EA. You have to build the indicator then call it from the EA.
 

how to convert ex4 become mq4 files? reply to sonyirwana2006 yahoo messengger please

 

Basically its very simple - you don't need to change the indicator code.

You can use the iCustom function in order to get the indicator array value for each new tick. Look for the mql help on this function.

double val=iCustom(NULL, 0, "SampleInd",13,1,0);

 

How do you add indicator code to an EA so I get indicator and EA all in one so I don't need to do iCustom calls?

Thanks

This is possible to do but it is not simple. Also, each different job would be unique since each indicator is different. So this question cannot be answered with any clarity.
