Hello.

For some reason when I copy and paste this code into the language editor and save it and restart MT4, it does not show up in my custom indicators. I have done several others and they have showed up and even the file is in the language editor, it just does not come up on my list of indicators? Could someone help? Thanks.

The user, [B]n_aftab[/B] already attached the indicator as a .zip file at the bottom of this thread :slight_smile:

Awesome! I will give this a try when I get home from classes. Thanks for the help.
