Dynamic Custom Indy (Read Values from .ini file)

The idea is to load the values of the 5 custom indys from an .ini file.

That this .ini file can be opened with notepad and place the values of each indicator so that CP can later read it and load the values.

The idea is that CP has a combobox where all the indicators that appear in the 3 .ini sections appear

This way, my script would not have to be used to edit the .set file. ( All indicators in one Powershell Tool / CommunityPower EA )

CustomIndy3.ini
CustomIndy2.ini
CustomIndy1.ini

I'm not sure I got your idea. Do you want CP to read the parameters from files on the fly?

Why only custom indicators?

What are the use cases?

It will require EA reload, i'm not sure it is a good idea.

Yes, I don't see a problem in reloading the EA.

You can have the configuration of "unlimited" indicators in the .ini and that CP can choose "unlimited" Indicators with configuration of each one. This leads to greater convenience in using CP when creating strategies, not having to use external programs to modify the .set file. Save, modify the .set file with the indicator and load it back into the EA.

The idea is that the EA reads the .ini file with all the indicator configuration and has a combobox where you can choose the indicators and load the configuration.

I still don't understand how to use this.

I don't know the possibilities that Metatrader/MQL gives. In the Tester, when loading the EA, is there an event() that can be fired to open a file, read the content and load it into the EA?
