If it's an indicator you can try using iCustom()...

Yes ICustom() but it returns an integer not alert string

Would be useful if you could show some screenshots with the alerts, including the chart the indicator runs on - basically if the indicator draws something at the same time as the alerts, then iCustom will help... and in which case you can show your codes that make iCustom() calls, and we'll see if there's anything wrong or what else can be attempted.

Indicator is not mql file it is only compiled version. I will put later some screenshots. Yes iCustom calls the indicator but the EA must know the alert message buy or sell and this shall be the main issue. Maybe to use some chart functioms to search at every tick after a string ?

You can't see the alerts.
You must figure out what buffer(s) and buffer value(s) trigger the alert and use them in your iCustom call(s).

Thank you but I do not have source code to see buffers set so in these conditions it s not possible only to use alert messages
