Q : "How to create inputs for my Indicator in MQL4?"

Step 0:

Define the file-format. The file per-se has to be inside <Terminal>/MQL4/files plus inside <Terminal>/Tester/files so as to let it become readable for the MQL4-code. Se the documentation for details of this sandboxing.

Step 1:

Define the file-reader void ConfigReader() {... } so as to match your file-format from Step-O.

Step 2:

Call the ConfigReader() from inside the event-handling section OnInit().

Step 3:

Design the rest of the Custom-indicator so as to obey such file-parametrised, OnInit-read-in throughout its rest of the life-cycle.

Step 4:

You are in the finish-line - THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED !
