How can one use an indicator in an EA, ie I want to call an indicator from my EA, and use the signals generated in the indicator as buy/sell signals in my EA?
There are three ways.
1) copy the "meat" of your indicator to the inside of your ea.
2) make the decision part of your indicator a library that you call
3) use "iCustom" to call the indicator that resides in the experts\indicators folder. This is usually the fastest for a newbie. Check the help section for passing the parameters you need. You can select which indicator line you want the iCustom to pass back to you.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I am still new to all the programming, but I have used your input and think I am on the right track. I say think, because I cannot test at the moment, as there is no data coming through (weekend). I am right in saying that indicators and EA's that are newly 'attached' do not show up until the next tick?
