Hi all,  
I’m trying to use my custom indicator.  
Can’t find how to load it into my graph.

My code is written.  
How do I use it on Tradovate chart?  
It is under my File tree, how can I add it to the community indicators or builtin indicators?

thanks

Here the code. Looking other code from the community seems I miss the class type. How can I fix it?

Hopefully you’ve figured it out already, but look at the built-in indicators. Copy one, adjust for the changed directory. See if you can get it to work and go from there. You need module.exports code at the bottom of every indicator that will provide information like the indicator name and a tag to say where the indicator should show up when selecting it on a chart.
