Help cannot load Indicator

Hello ,

i wrote some custom indicator, and now i tried load it to marketscope 2.0 , but marketscope didn't find the indicator lua files.

Do i need a specific version of masrketscope. I tried it with a demo account and a live account.

any idea, why i cannot load the lua custom indicator?

thanks a lot.

Gidien

Can you load indicator into the indicator debugger w/o any errors?
Do you properly install the indicator using Chart/Manage custom indicator?

Angry

Yes i can load the indicator to the debugger without any érrors. and yes i used charts manage custom indicator. But in the field, where i should select the file, the file is not displayed. It looks like the directoy is empty.

Even if i unzip the indicator.cap file, then all the indicators are not shown in the open dialog.

Sorry for my english, but hope you understand, what i meen.

I tested the function on a number of TS. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem as it is described.

Could you please send me snapshots of:
a) the explorer window with the folder containing your indicator
b) the "Open" dialog which appears after pressing "Load" button of the "Manage Custom Indicators" dialog with and without "Look in" (or "Folder" in some OS) choice opened.
and
c) Version of your OS (language in case it is some local version)

you can make snapshot using PrintScreen key and the just paste the image into the paint application.

You can send it to the email nikolay(at)gekht(dot)us

Thank you

Hi,

i found the cause of my problem, i used the german version of FXCM trading station, with german version you cannot load new custom indicators.

After installing the fxcm version from fxcm.com, now it works very well.

Nice nice,

My indicator works.

I encountered the same problem for a couple of times. It can be solved by one (two) more loadings of the indicator.

Hi,

here is my custom_ALLIGATOR. I used the TMA instead of SMMA. Please check if it works for you.

New Version BW Fractal

Hi sawakita,

i also updated my BW Fractal indicator. Now the indicator draws the fractal until a new Fractal appears.

The other indicators is a Stochastic RSI and DMI Line.

Hi Gidien,

This is awesome! easier to identify the entry point. thanks!
I normally use with ALL + RSI

So far it ok. It help me to see the next movement of the price. I only go for small pips, 10 -20pips. It work ok. 80% scored most of the time.

Thanks again!!
