Trouble with custom indicator questioned changed as I am dealing objects (I think)

[Goatan]

Hi,

Change of question as I think I am dealing with objects.

When I attach the ea that is looking for certain object condition of an indicator I also need the indicator attached to the chart? Is this testable in mt5 or do jsut need to make an indicator version i.e arrows instead of buying and attach it to a live chart and see what happnes?

@goatan If your EA is searching for some specific objects on chart, yes, you need to attach the indicator to the chart. Same situation for MT4 and MT5. Obviously that is not necessary in backtesting. Then you just need the indicator to be installed on your platform.

Thanks that has helped clear things up.
