Anybody having trouble with custom indicators? Now custom indicators are left out of compilation.  EA with custom indicator works fine in terminal but when migration to VPS do not work.

Any help here?

That's no problem at all. Also remember - here is a technical forum: if you have not submitted anything, if you have not provided any codes, if you have not provided a description of the problem, you will be ignored.

This is the way of initializing used and it worked when compiled a few months ago, but now it works only in my terminal with no errors but not when migrated to VPS.

At the end of compilation I do not see the custom indicator included in code message like before.

Thanks

Ok here I go again.  This used to work a few months ago.

Not tried using  #resource "\\Indicators\\SampleIndicator.ex5" yet.  Thanks for your patience.

Are your indicators using Forbidden Calls (dlls)?

No dlls

Does your code use WinAPI calls?

You could greatly reduce your time if you attach all your MQL5 codes.

No WinAPI calls in code.  I have other EA coded somewhere mid 2020 with the same custom indicators and at that time compiler included custom indicators inside EA and still works fine on VPS.  Now it does not include in compilation.

We all know that metatrader update the code every other week so I am just wondering if something change in compiler. Probably a work around this is to just load both custom indicators and EA in the chart and then migrate to VPS, but I dont see the point of loading indicators in a chart into a VPS that doesnt even have a monitor screen to watch.

thanks
