Added Plots and new version not seen in Indicator List?

[Tradarr]

I am trying to add plots to the open source VPA indicator so they are public and seen in Market Analyzer, Strategy Builder , and Chart alerts. After adding the plots below, saving , and compiling the new version is not seen in the Indicator List?

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "upThrustConditionOne");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red ,-1), PlotStyle.Dot, "upThrustConditionTwo");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "upThrustConditionThree");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "reversalLikelyBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.LimeGreen ,1), PlotStyle.Dot, "isStrengthConfirmationBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Yellow , 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "stopVolBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "noDemandBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.LimeGreen , 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "noSupplyBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.LimeGreen , 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "supplyTestInUpTrendBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.LimeGreen , 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "successfulSupplyTestBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "failedEffortUpMove")
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "effortDownMove");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "isUpThrustBar")
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "isConfirmedUpThrustBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.LimeGreen , 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "effortUpMoveBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "weaknessBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "distributionBar");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red , -1), PlotStyle.Dot, "pseudoUpThrustConfirmation");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.LimeGreen , 1), PlotStyle.Dot, "effortUpMoveBar");

Hi Tradarr, thanks for your post.

Please look to the Log tab of the Control Center. Do you have any initialization errors coming from the indicator?

I look forward to hearing from you.

From your file:

        [Display(Name="Font", Description="Message Font", Order=13, GroupName="Parameters")]
        public SimpleFont Font { get; set; }

        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> VolumeEma
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> Strong
        {
            get { return Values[1]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> Weak
        {
            get { return Values[2]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> StrongWeak
        {
            get { return Values[3]; }
        }

You have defined properties for only 4 plots. Just declaring the Plots is not sufficient: you have to assign values to the underlying fields, and also expose the Plots as properties.

Thanks I will correct and add here and user share site if allowed.

I made made changes, compiled ok, but the indicator is not seen in Indicator list, now I see error regarding unique naming in picture? Code Attached .

2 things.

1. It seems your file name does not match your class name. Look in the editor tab name to see what the actual file name of your class VPAv2 is. Alternatively, Use the popup menu to "Save as ..." to save to the name that you want to see (in this case, the class name, I would presume).
2. Your error is referencing the VPA class, but the file you just posted is (in the file text) called VPAv2. As a start, you may want to find the file that has the text "class VPA" contained in it, and delete that file from the file system.

Hi Tradarr, thanks for your patience.

It does look like the original "VPA" script has errors and will need to be reverted to the original copy (Multiple calls to AddPlot with the same plot name). When you need to make a copy of a script, right-click within the original code and select "Save As" and give it a different name. The class name will also be changed for convenience.

Once the original VPA indicator is compiling and the copy of VPA is made properly you can add the public properties like koganam suggested. This will make the plots accessible to other objects.

Kind regards,
