Hi support,

Please can you outline where I am supposed to store a custom made indicator so that I can refer to it in JForex code?

Also I was reading back through the Wiki and I think I have found a mistake:
Under "Method Calculate" in the "IIndicator Interface" page of the wiki (https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#IIndicator_interface) it says:

"If there is input array with 30 elements and calculate method is called for SMA indicator with ''startIndex'' 0 and ''endIndex'' 29, then if there is time period of 20, indicator will have ''firstValueIndex'' 20 and ''lastValueIndex 29."

Given that arrays start at 0 and not at 1, surely a 20 period SMA indicator would have a "firstValueIndex" of 19, rather than 20?

Also please can you provide more clarity in the wiki about the following:
--"firstValueIndex'' and ''lastValueIndex" it really isn't clear (to me at least) which one is the latest value (i.e. the current candle/bar) or the earliest (i.e. the candle/bar furthest back in time)

--input array. It is incredibly unclear as to whether input[0] or input[length-1] is the most recent price.

Thanks

Hi Support,
Is there any update on this?
Thanks

There are two options:
1) Only indicator name is specified: @CustomIndicators("Indicator.jfx")
In this case indicator must be placed in "<Default strategy folder>\files\Indicator.jfx"
<Default strategy folder> can be set in Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Strategies path

2) Full path to indicator .jfx file is provided: @CustomIndicators("C:\\Work\\Indicator.jfx")

Thank you,

Can you please also add some clarity to my other questions?

Please clarify your questions and choose 1 most important one.

Input array is in chronological order. 0th element is the oldest.
firstValueIndex is older than lastValueIndex
