Before I read all that.....

Have you checked the log?

What does it say?

[chrisjcarter]

It wont even show up in the indicator list now..

[Crassius]

Find the file in your system that contains indicators by using the highlighted path in teh attached screenshot.... yours will be a very similar path but not exactly...

Find the indicator file by its name dot cs.

If it isn't in this file, use your operating systems search feature to find the indcicator name dot cs file....

[chrisjcarter]

Ok, I found the folder with my indicator in it.

[Crassius]

If it is in the bin/custom/indicator folder, then it must be in the indicator list....

If it isn't i that folder, move it there, try to apply it to a chart, and tell us what the log says.... when/if if fails to plot...

Also, you may need to compile an indicator.... any indicator in the bin/custom/indicator folder to get your indicator to show up in the indicator list...

pick one of the NT system indicators like ADX, compile it with your indicator in the correct folder, and your indicator will appear in the indicator list....
