Hi Kicks.Spin, thanks for posting. The market analyzer can add an "Indicator" column that can initialize any indicator that adds a Plot. There is a brief guide here on adding an indicator column:

If the indicator does not add a plot, you can make an entirely new Market Analyzer script type that can display values on its own:

Hello Kicks.Spin

I was responding to your inquiry as I understood this from post #1.

"How do i develop the indi's so they can be used tin the Market Analyzer?"

Are you no longer wanting to development an indicator to use in an indicator column in the Market Analyzer?

You can make a MarketAnalyzerColumn script if you don't want use the indicator in an indicator column in the Market Analyzer like you first requested.

Below is a link to the help guide.
