[Feature]: add 3rd party custom indicator signals to decision matrix for entry/exit
Hi,
one thing I miss is the possibility to add custom indicator signals to the entry/exit decision matrix.
Conceptually, one could at 1-n slots for custom indicators - the user has to provide following components via settings:
- File path to indicator file (i.e. relative to MQL<4|5>\Indicators)
- path to a settings file for the custom indicator - this .set file is read in and its key/value pairs are parsed, so the custom indicator call (iCustom) can be done using these settings
- 2 or 3 formula fields for evaluating green/red condition to add to the decision matrix (like green: $buffer0 > 0.75, red: $buffer0 < 0.2 or combined formulas like green: $buffer0 > 0.75, $buffer1 != EMPTY_VALUE) - these comma-separated formulas can then be evaluated inside the EA to come to a conclusion about the custom indicator values' contribution to the overal entry/exit decision of the EA
Feel free to add critics/further ideas/conceptual enhancements etc. - we can also have a telegram (https://t.me/frankg74)

Frank, thanks for your suggestion!
Seems we had something like this on forum, but I can't find it at the moment.
It is really good idea to connect CP to any custom indicator. But it is not so simple to do.
If someone wants to help and knows MQL4/5 good enough, it is good chance to make contribution to the project - just write the library to work with any custom indicator and share it with me, and I'll implement it to the EA.
