Using Custom Indicator in an EA

[sharp_in1008]

Hi,
I am trying to include the code from a custom indicator into an EA. I was wondering if replacing the indicatorcounted() with Bars() is an appropriate get around the errors recieved while trying to compile the indicator code in an EA.

(The reason i don't intend to use the iCustom is that a single function is required to return an array of values and i don't know how functions that return arrays or pointers are handled in mql4. While using them within an EA i can use the arrays as global variables which are then set within the indicator code)
Help is much appreciated.

Cant answer your question directly but here are my thoughts on it.

You can call the indicator with the shift to get older values. EA's work on the current bar, indicators process all bars required. If you need to look at a lot of indicator history on each ea tick, then why not summarise that in an expert and publish it via an object (line, label, etc). Or you could call that in a loop. I havent seen any code that references the indicator arrays directly, and ive looked at quite a few experts.

Thanks. Would replacing IndicatorCounted by Bars() be ok?
