Hello,

The file you should run as SCAN is the one that has ADDTOCOMPOSITE function.
It is NOT the file below. That one is for PLOTTING ready indicator.
For each indicator from the article I have provided TWO formulas,
one is for SCAN (the one with AddToComposite) and second is for
plotting (the one with Plot() function).

Best regards,
