Is it possible to create an EA that enables communication between 2 or more terminals to share data? Trying to create a HFT EA to trade different brokers by leveraging the latencey of diff brokers compared to others.

Is it an ex4 in

yes its a .ex4 file I do not have the mq4. those values on the right are standard values, and when I imported it I updated the values to the ones I need for my EA, and I remember someone said the name of you give the buffers doesn't really matter as long as you use them accordingly.

Do you mean like this ?

I have been using custom indicators for some time now, a couple of days ago i tried using this new custom indicator but found that the EA is making trades at incorrect candles when testing, I know that because after the test completes i drop the indicator on the chart with same settings i get the arrows on completely different candles. So i downloaded another custom indicator that has similar results but also get the same issue so i left those indicators.

Then yesterday i get a completely different indicator to work on, then i get the same issue on it as well, i check buffers on candle[1] as usual and these arrows do not redraw.

I have attached the arrow indicator below with settings, can someone please help me and check if I'm doing something incorrectly.

ust look at the name of each o

I can find the objects when I test, that is after I manually add the custom indicator to my chart while it's testing. The issue I have is, my custom indicator doesn't appear or isn't added when I run my EA......i have to manually add the indicator so that the EA can start working.

The indicator doesn't use buffers for its objects that it draws on the chart.

Hi, I have a custom indicator.ex4 that displays objects on the chart instead of using a buffer. I have uploaded it, added all inputs but since I'm querying for objects on the chart the indicator itself doesn't seem to appear. So is there a way of making sure that the custom indicator is initialized when a user drops the EA on their chart? Maybe on the EA's "on Init" tab/method.

@l-andorrà I did not set te parameters because i do not need to change them.

@trader-philipps Thanks, I tried it. Importing it was a breeze and I'm trying to get the asterisks indicators and initiate a trade on a candle right after but still no luck. I have sent screenshots. A trade keeps getting initiated on a random candle that doesn't have a previous candle with an asterisks
