Custom indicators not appearing under reference manager
Custom indicators not appearing under reference manager
27 Dec 2024, 16:22
Kindly assist my custom indicators are not appearing under reference manager in “Algo”. So I can't use them in my cBots.
However they do appear under “trade” when I want to add them to charts
The custom indicators I'm referring to do not appear in the first screenshot but they do appear in the second one. I'm running Ctrader version 5.2(27).
Please help.

No, I don't have source codes. I downloaded one of them (Nonlag Schaff Trend Cycle) from clickalgo.com; The other ones I downloaded from different sites on the web.

No, I don't have source codes. I downloaded one of them (Nonlag Schaff Trend Cycle) from clickalgo.com; The other ones I downloaded from different sites on the web.
The two indicators that I have provided source code for can be referenced after compiling them, however the NRTRChannel gives an error below when referencing it:
Error MSB4006: There is a circular dependency in the target dependency graph involving target "_GenerateRestoreProjectPathWalk". (/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/8.0.303/NuGet.targets, line: 1196, column: 5)
As for the other indicators that I don't have source code for, I'm still having no luck.

Thank you, only indicators with source code can be referenced to other projects.
