The weightoscillator_htf indicator included within the Expert Advisor (EA) is primarily for enhancing trend visualization in the Strategy Tester.
It is inactive in other operational modes.
Installation Instructions:
Place the compiled weightoscillator.ex5 and weightoscillator_htf.ex5 indicator files into the <terminal_data_folder>\mql5\indicators directory.
Note: The compiled exp_weightoscillator.ex5 expert file integrates the weightoscillator.ex5 and weightoscillator_htf.ex5 indicators as resources.
Therefore, these indicators do not need to be present in the terminal folder for the EA to function correctly.
This integration is achieved by embedding the indicator code directly into the EA's executable file.
The indicator executable files are added as resources at the global scope.
The string paths to these embedded indicators within the oninit() function have been updated accordingly.
Consequently, the compiled EA can be utilized on other trade terminals independently without requiring separate indicator installations.
The tradealgorithms.mqh library file enables the use of Expert Advisors with brokers who offer:
- Non-zero spreads.
- The ability to set Stop Loss and Take Profit simultaneously with position opening.
Additional library variants are available for download.
