Dumb Question here...

I was able to create my own indicator in C# and have a dll ready to go but having issues with getting that to show up in WL5.6. Following the recently released "under the hood" documents, it wasn't clear how to integrate it back into WL. (Do I copy the file into a directory or load it through a wle? something else?)

I just copied the DLL into the WL directory with TASC and other indicators but it never shows up.

I'm sure I'm missing some step so I would appreciate any guidance you can provide for getting working in WL.

Much Thanks!

Mr. Big Returns...!

If you believe you've correctly implemented IndicatorHelper, the code is correct, and you placed the DLL in WLP's main folder, then the most likely reason may be a different framework version. You need to compile it against .NET 2.0 (not a higher version of the framework as is by default with VS2008 and up). Please check this in your project's properties, corret if necessary and recompile.

This is a followup to BigReturns post on custom indicators.

A reference is made to "under the hood" documents that seem to explain how to implement custom indicators through dll's.

Can someone point me in the right direction to find this document?

Thanks.
