Adding an example showing how to work with indicators inside the strategy file on a different time frames #78

It would be great if you could add one simple python example to show how to integrate an indicator inside the strategy file and make a trading decision based on that? Something similar to the existing Coin Flip Trader, but, incorporating at least one indicator operating on a , for instance, 15 min time frame ticker.

Very much appreciated for being such helpful

I would love that inorder to use zeromq_connector to code my strategies which involve indicators available in MT4

Hi, generally there are two ways. Either you could calulate it in python from the price data you stored, for example using the resample function on a pandas data frame. Or you could do it in mql and pass the information via the socket connection similar to how it is done for example for DWX_GetOpenOrders(). However, this would be quite a lot of work. If a strategy is based mostly on technical indicators, I would highly recommend just to code it in mql4 and execute it directly in MT4.
