Indicators

An Indicator is a program that you attach on a chart the same way as an Expert Advisor, but the Indicator cannot make any trades. It is mostly used to add visual informations on the chart, or to do some automated tasks every now and then.

By default, the Expert Advisors will automatically load the Indicators it need to run correctly.

But you can always add couple of extra Indicators for you, so you can see things more clearly.

The Indicators that you add to a chart window are only added for you. The Expert Advisor will not be using those indicators.
