Can I turn indicator alerts into an EA?

 

Hello,

I downloaded a free indicator from the market and wondered if it were possible to automate the indicator using its alerts in order to place a buy/sell trade including SL and TP?

thank you

Technically yes, try copying indi buffers into Arrays and printing the Array values to find out what infos they hold.
 

You can't read them, and you can't read the file because of the caching.

Figure out what buffer(s) values trigger the alert and use that.
