I am thinking of running the indi to calculate and chart recent values, and if the ea is running, instead of calling the indi to run and re-calculate the value for each tick, it uses storage that can be common to any program, and would just pick it up and use the last value calculated... and, probably, should have some way to confirm that the indi has run recently. for example, if i wanted to run the stochastic indicator or the timeslope indi, instead of running the indi for each value needed, to have the ea be able to pick up the last calculated value and test it for the condition i need. as fast as these computers are nowdays, it would not save that much processing time, but could simplify/shorten the length (and consequent debugging) of any other program that needs to find that value (rather than needing to add the code into the program or make an icustom call).
