FX dreema not reading custom indicator

[TNS]

Hello,

I want to incorporate the following condition: when the candlestick close value is above the line (value) of my custom indicator, make a buy trade.

Here is what i have done: https://fxdreema.com/shared/sKDOdrMHb

Apparently, fxdreema is not reading the value of my custom indicator because no trade takes place. Also my custom indicator does not appear in the chart once the strategy tester is completed.

I also tried with other custom indicators (most of them are moving average types) but still no trade takes place...

I read in the forum about adding the 'indicator appear' block or 'indicator is visible' block but even this does not make my custom indicator show up in the strategy tester.

Could you please help?

@tns Is your Almav2 indicator inside the indicator folder of MT4? Check the journal for some errors

@ambrogio You are right, that solves the problem, thank you!

What I am seeing is that the indicator has to be saved in the main folder 'indicators' of mt4. If it is saved in a subfolder within the 'indicators' folder, it is not read by the EA...is there any workaround for that?

Also, since i am using mt4 from two different laptops, will the custom indicator work for both laptops or i need to be creating two different EAs, one for each laptop?

If you're using the same account with the same broker you do not need to have two EA, but if you have to open orders on another account you need both the indicator and the EA on the second MT4 terminal

@tns Hello. If the indicator is in subfolder then in the name field add subbfoldername/ before the indicator name. You can find this with search on the forum, it was addressed somewhere.

@cpxiom Thank you, indeed that works!
