Hi, 

Use iCustom() to get the indicator output.

Hi,

Use iCustom () to get an indicator output.

But I only have the .ex4 file. Can I use iCustom?
 

Write iCustom in your EA and press F1 - you should see it.

Reads from the file of the CSV type a string of one of the formats: "YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS", "YYYY.MM.DD" or "HH:MM:SS" - and converts it into a datetime value
