How can I put a name in the middle and lower pane to label the custom indicators that I made? It is hard to realize what the indicator is used for after a while.
Thanks!

It is possible to start the formula with the "name". You can even put the "name" on the first line and have the formula on the second line (although this requires writing the formula in another program and pasting it into the formula window).
This is not supported however (meaning it could stop working at any time) and great care must be taken in constructing the name. If it contains reserved symbols or words, TeleChart will see it as a formula and attempt to evaluate the name. This will normally result in an error of some sort, but could result in a mis-calculation instead.

OK, I'm not doing something right. I tried to cut and paste your formula for the Ultimate Oscillator into a custom Indicator file starting withe the line below (so I could capture the name of the file) and I receive an "missing argument" error. I've tried several mods to the first line but nothing works for me. Deleteing the line does allow it to work, but I REALLY would like to name it.
HELP!
Thanks
TC

Rockets,
Remember the "reserved symbols or words" part of my Wednesday, May 30, 2007 5:10:15 PM ET post? Well your title has one of those. In this case, it is OR (it's at the end of Oscillat-or). When this is taken out, the Custom Indicator plots on my system. That said, this is entirely unsupported.

Rockets,
You're welcome. This one was actually pretty obscure. There are plenty of people that aren't newbie's that would not have known what caused the isssue.
