Counting parameters/outputs from custom indicator for iCustom() function

New comment
 

Hello,

I'm not a MQL4 expert but i was trying to develope the following idea.

I would want to creat an EA which could get the number of parameters and buffers(outputs) from a custom indicator, so i can use that information to implement it on the iCustom() function.

This will be use to backtest diferente custom indicators without the need to change the EA code when the custom indicator is different.

It would go something like this:

int parameters = count_parameters();

int outputs = count_outputs();

for(i=0;i<outputs;i++)

value[i] = iCustom(NULL,0,param0, param1....,output[i],0)


The first thing here is how to make  count_parameters() and count_outputs() work(if possible...). If this is not possible, I can make this two variables(parameters and outputs), as extern variables, so i can modify them on EA's Properties buttom.

And second, how to build iCustom() function with a variable number of parameters depending ont the "parameters" variable.


I don't even know if this is possible, but it is worth asking.

Thanks in advance!
