[amibroker] Re: exploration for custom indicator

I think what threw me off was if I was looking for an indicator that 
comes already loaded with AB, in the filter line I could just say " MA
(10)", or "RSI(9)" and the program would know what I was looking for. 
I could not think of how to name my indicator so the exploration 
would recognize it the way it recognizes "MA(10)".I didnt know I had 
to actually have the indicator code in with the exploration code. 
Thanks again.
