To function, the weightoscillator_htf repeater indicator requires the compiled custom indicator file weightoscillator.mq5. This file should be placed in the <terminal_data_folder>\mql5\indicators directory.
After compilation, the weightoscillator_htf.ex5 indicator file will embed the weightoscillator.ex5 indicator as a resource. Consequently, the original weightoscillator.ex5 indicator file is not needed in the terminal folder for the compiled repeater indicator to operate. This is achieved by including the necessary code within the indicator to embed the weightoscillator indicator into the executable file.
The indicator executable file has been added as a resource at the global scope.
//---- include custom indicators in the indicator code as resources
#resource \indicators\weightoscillator.ex5
The string path to the indicator used as a resource has been modified in the oninit() function block.
//---- getting handle of the weightoscillator indicator
ind_handle=icustom(symbol_,timeframe,"::indicators\weightoscillator",rsiweight,rsiperiod,rsiprice,mfiweight,mfiperiod,mfivolumetype, wprweight,wprperiod,demarkerweight,demarkerperiod,bma_method,blength,bphase,highlevel,lowlevel);
This approach ensures that the compiled executable file of the repeater indicator can be used independently on other trade terminals without requiring the original indicator file.
