Hi, I have an indicator providing levels but I only have the EXE file not MQL file so i can't add as custom indicator. Is there any way to go around this problem and identify the levels some how in my EA?

You can still add it as custom indicator, provided you know the inputs and buffers
-
If you open the indicator inputs on your platform you will see the name, type and order of the settings. add these as they are to indicators using the EXE file as a start.
-
@jstap I have entered the input parameters as the exact same order as it is shown on MT4 data window as the first step. how should I create 'output buffers' correlating to the input parameter? because in fxdreema I need output buffers to be shown .
as an example I have a line named 'A UP' in the indicator. I have exactly set this as input, now I want to refer to this line in fxdreema as a buffer. how should i introduce in 'output buffer' to correlate with 'A UP' input parameter -
The inputs are not in the data window, the data window will show you any buffers, add these as any name you want
-
@jstap I exactly want to address those buffers appearing in data window. how can I do that?
I need those buffers because they represent price levels. I need to access those price levels on the chart to set conditions for my EA.
attached is the snapshot of the indicator and price levels it generates
-
If that is 6 buffers from that indicator create 6 call them anything, and put in a comment so you can see which one matches the data window.

@jstap thanks, I have done that but still couldn't succeed. here are the snapshots of what I have done.
-
I am unsure, add the indicator here and I'll see what I can return.
-
@jstap sure, here it is
fenefx_ACD1.ex4 -

@jstap thanks for getting back to me. it is a very confusing situation. I have done exactly the same thing. I have double checked. could be any reason I'm missing here? I can't figure out why it is not returning for me.
-
Not that I know of, if done the same I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
-
@jstap I realized what was causing problem. I had to paste the indicator in the main indicators folder in mt4 but i did it on a subfolder with a name which did not match the indicator's name. problem solved. thank you so much.
