Add an indicator to your EA

Before you can add an indicator to an EA, you will first have to add an EA to your account. Once you have added an EA to your account, you can add an indicator to your EA by clicking on the + Add button in the Indicators section of your EA.

Available Indicators

Now you will see a list that contains all the available MetaTrader 4/5 indicators, your own indicators (if you uploaded any), and some indicators sourced from the web. You can select any of these indicators or upload a new custom indicator. When ready, click Next for the indicator you would like to add to your EA.

We will select the standard Moving Average indicator now. In the next part of this tutorial, we will upload a custom indicator.

Indicator Parameters

Once you’ve clicked Next on the indicator you would like to add to your EA, you can now assign a name to your indicator and optionally adjust parameter values. We advise you to give your indicator a short, friendly name that is easy to remember, especially when using the same indicator multiple times with different settings, like a different timeframe.

Once completed, click the Save button, after which your indicator will be added to your EA. If the Save button is grayed out, this indicates that you have forgotten to enter a required parameter value.
