There are two kind of indicators you can use in your expert advisor:

Built-in indicators:

The MQL4 has a number of built-in indicators which you can use them as a function for example:

Code:

double iMA( string symbol, int timeframe, int period, int ma_shift, int ma_method, int applied_price, int shift)

Code:

double iATR( string symbol, int timeframe, int period, int shift)

Any other indicator:
To use any other indicator in your expert advisor you use the function iCustom:

Code:

double iCustom( string symbol, int timeframe, string name, ... , int mode, int shift)

For more details about iCustom see my post:

iCustom function
