Post subject:  Difference between start() and OnTick()

Hi All,

I just pick up mql4 a few weeks back still learning about it.

I know that start() is used in indicator and OnTick() is used in EA.
Is there actually a difference? can we interchange it?

I do notice someone using start() in an EA hence i am wondering if there is a difference as the MetaEditor's Template we get OnTick()
