Cannot find my new indicator

Custom Indicators
1
  1. I have created a new indicator

a. no syntax errors
b. no errors in the console

  1. the new indicator is not listed in the indicators list of the open chart; closed and restarted Travadate both desktop and web versions, same result.

  2. i have shared it in the community visible just for me and published just for me, but there is not the “install” button

what am I missing? how can I test it in the chart? where can i find references and explanations?

Thank you all.

Federico.

PS: i have also tried with the indicator that the editor proposes creating a new javascript file, a simple SMA. I have tha same problem. The only difference I see is that all the other installed indicator .js flles are in a sub-folder in the files tree while the new .js files stay in the root (actually I cannot find a way to create a folder).

I’ve got the exact same problem. I see you’ve had 165 views. has anyone offered any help to you? I could sure use an answer to this myself.

Same issue, I cannot find the indicator. I even copied the SMA and just created it with a different file name, but it still doesn’t show up anywhere. Any ideas?

i’m seeing the same behavior. the code compiles with no errors, but the indicator never shows up in the chart’s indicator list. it looks like tradovate isn’t loading new js indicators unless they’re placed in the proper internal folder structure, and the editor currently isn’t letting us create folders or place files where the platform expects them.

if anyone from tradovate can confirm the correct workflow or whether this is a current platform bug, that would help a lot. multiple users seem to be hitting the same issue.

In the ‘module.exports’ section of your script, you need to make sure:

‘Name’ and ‘Description’ are not the same as another script, otherwise there can only be one.

‘Tags’ contains the name of the folder you want to find your indicator in. (By making one up here, you are creating a new folder)

Eg:

module.export = {

name: ‘my indicator’,

description: ‘My Indicator’,

calculator: MyIndicator,

tags: [“> My Indicators"]

};
