The Fractal_ADX_Cloud_HTF indicator in the EA is intended only for a more convenient visualization of trends in the strategy tester, in other operation modes it is inactive.
After compilation, the Exp_Fractal_ADX_Cloud.ex5 expert file contains the Fractal_ADX_Cloud.ex5 and Fractal_ADX_Cloud_HTF.ex5 indicators as resources, and therefore, they are not required to be present in the terminal folder for the compiled EA to work! For this purpose, the corresponding code has been added to the EA code in order to include these indicators in the expert’s executable file.
The indicator executable files have been added as resources at the global scope
//—- Include the indicators in the EA code as resources #resource “\\Indicators\\Fractal_ADX_Cloud.ex5” #resource \\Indicators\\Fractal_ADX_Cloud_HTF.ex5
