Is it possible to change the value of an indicator using an EA?

[rafaelgrecco]

Hi, is it possible to change the value of an indicator using an EA?

I want my EA to change a "int" value used on a indicator.

Thanks.

Surely you can take that value and store it as a variable at some point of your EA? Modifying a variable is simple.

Hey roar,

The problem is that this is not an indicator I use on some condition or anything like that. Here is what I need to change:

I need to change the "Step size" value. I'll use a value calculated from ATR.

Changing this value will make the offline renko chart change, where my "real" EA runs. I am making a secondary EA just to control the renko size.

If I put the value I want on a Variable, how do I apply that to the indicator?

@rafaelgrecco
I must admit I'm not expert on custom indicators, but can it be changed here, in the "My Indicators" menu?

roar, thanks for trying to help.

I think I am not explaining correctly what I need to do (maybe it's not possible).

I'll try to think of something else.

Create a variable with some name. Then modify it. And then use it.
That blue thing can be put there when you right-click on the input field. I used Moving Average for the screenshot, but it can be anything else. But ATR has a little bit different values.
