How to create an EA from an Indicator?

[theforex squads]

I have an indicator which generates signals based on 03-Moving Averages and certain filter criteria. I want to develop an EA based on this indicator. Any guidance in this context will be appreciated?

Your topic has been moved to the section: MQL4 e MetaTrader 4 — In the future, please consider which section is most appropriate for your query.

• Usually people who cannot code do not receive free help on this forum.
  
• If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community. Use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.
  
• If you do not want to learn to code, that is not a problem. You can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (also sometimes free).
• Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.

Don't try to do that. There are no buffers, no IndicatorCounted() or prev_calculated. No way to know if older bars have changed or been added (history update.)

Just get the value(s) of the indicator(s) into EA/indicator (using iCustom) and do what you want with it.
