Hello,
Is it possible to use Buy/Sell signal from a custom indicator in a Ea if I don't have the code of this indicator? I would like to filter the signals of an Ea using the signal of the indicator. The indicator just displays arrows for buy and sell.

Thank you

It is possible but you must know all the parameters used into the indicator.
They usually listed into the indicator if any.... but some could be hidden, then it will be difficult to call properly the Indi into EA.

Refer to iCustom() function

In this case, you can read all Objects from Main window of the Terminal
 (where Indicator write arrows), and find parameters of 'that arrow'

In the object list I see only opening time, opening level, and arrow code =1

This probably a long Signal I guess!

If you have Arrow code = 2, then it's a short signal.

I think I can do it without reading of the chart. Reading off a chart is is very slow and cumbersome.
