Discussion of article "Simple Trading Systems Using Semaphore Indicators"
I compiled some Signals and restart, like "Candles_SmoothedSignal.mqh" (..MQL5\Include\Expert\MySignals\Candles_SmoothedSignal.mqh), but MetaEditor can not see it to make an Expert Advisor in the Wizard.
How can I solved it?
Thanks for this most excellent and thorough explanation ...!

The order is important:

but not

and between start and end only the service block - no variables and macro substitutions.
This is the beginning the module should have:

New article Simple Trading Systems Using Semaphore Indicators is published:
