Description & Settings
The Exp_BBSqueeze Expert Advisor is based on the signals obtained from the signal indicator. A signal for a transaction forms when a bar is closing, if there is a change in the indicator histogram color.
Proper operation of the generated Expert Advisor requires the compiled indicator file BBSqueeze.ex5 to be placed in terminal_data_directory\MQL5\Indicators.
