indicator is visible or appear

What is the different between visible and appear?

Hi,
I'm using Fxdreema since some weeks and there are many things that i have to understand.
For example the blocks "indicator is visible/appear".

I have some custom indicators that draw an arrow when they produce a signal. I upload them in Fxdreema (local) then I used the block "indicator appear" to buy and sell; all very simple. No... nothing happened.
Is it possible? I tried to set the value of candle id on 1, but nothing.
I tried to use the indicator test block to see how the indicators work, but the result is the same: they don't seem to work...

Can you help me?
Thanks

"Indicator is visible" should pass if the indicator has value different than EMPTY_VALUE or 0
"Indicator appear" should pass if the indicator has value different than EMPTY_VALUE or 0, and in it's previous run the indicator's value was EMPTY_VALUE or 0

I will suggest to use EMPTY_VALUE in your indicator instead of 0. But why there are no positive values in the candles where arrows can be seen... I don't know. I'm not very good with indicators, but when an arrow appears, the buffer should contain value that is positive (the price level).

@benjaminkudumpal In general, 'visible' means that is available on the chart all the time uninterruptedly whereas 'apperar' means the opposite. It can be visible or not at different moments in time.
