I believe that when you call indicator from expert it will be calculated independently from any indicator on the chart right at the moment of call. So, you'll get data which is accurate for the moment of your call.

With new version of MQL programming language available not only the approach of dealing with indicators have changed, but there are also new ways of how to create indicators. Furthermore, you have additional flexibility working with indicator's buffers - now you can specify the desired direction of indexing and get exactly as many indicator's values as you want. This article explains the basic methods of calling indicators and retrieving data from the indicator's buffers.

my indicator draws object only , not use buffer not all, so I must need know who is first be executed.
 

Put function Print in both program and see log.

I use pring(TimeCurrent), they always same value printed
 

TimeCurrent() returns last known server time. TimeLocal() is useless too.

Use GetTickCount()

Second. Which print is first? From what program?

Add something into output that helps you to understand which line was printed by indicator and which line was printed by EA.
 
I tried to test with print messages, it looks like Indicator is first to be called. And I believe it is the right way to handle this, indicators information always should be up to date.
