Put your signal into two buffer that you will create in your indicator,

 Then, Inside this loop put your indicator signal : 

 if(   condition buy )
    {
     Alert("signal_buy" );
     buffer_signal_buy[i] = Close[i];
    } 
                    

Don't forget to put SetIndexEmptyValue( x, 0.0);  for the indicator

and then use an iCustom inside your EA to call your buffers = your signals

 
Thanks

  1. Not a good idea to use Comment. Any additional indicator/script/EA could override it. It could be stale on a new bar.
  2. So if you have the source code, ffoorr's suggestion is best.
  3. But you can just read the comment. ChartGetString → CHART_COMMENT
