-Try using the below 3 methods combined, to check for the current program STATUS of (any of)
your custom indicators and if they are also (properly) installed within program.
When using the added number sequence for a custom indicator's unique identification
(f.i. for the Fml ("#number") Call-function), eg to have program uniquely identify the indicator,
make sure that this numer sequence is also "uniquely choosen for that particular indicator
alone", and that no other indicators have that same number sequence !!!
(used by any of the presently installed indicators).
-----1------------------------------------------------
Controlling which Indicators are in the QuickList (6.5Help/6.5Man. p.139)
By default, all available indicators (including custom indicators) are displayed
in the QuickList. However, you may want to shorten the list by excluding those
you seldom use. This can be done with the "QuickList Properties"-dialog.
The QuickList Properties dialog is displayed by choosing
"Indicator QuickList" from the "Format"-menu, or by right-clicking directly on
the QuickList and choosing "QuickList Properties".
-Check the indicators you want displayed in the QuickList.
-Remove the check if you prefer not to have the indicator displayed.
-You can check and uncheck all indicators by using the Check All and Uncheck All buttons.
------2-------------------------------------------------
Printing Custom Indicators (6.5Help/6.5Man. p.269)
You can print the names and/or formulas of the selected custom indicators
to the default printer using the "Print"-dialog. The "Print"-dialog is accessed by
choosing "Print" from the "Indicator Builder"-dialog.
Print What. Choose whether you want to print the Names Only or the Names
and Formulas for the selected custom indicators.
Copies. Choose the number of copies to print.
Print Range. Choose whether you want to print the Selected Custom Indicator(s)
or All Custom Indicators.
Printer. This displays a dialog from which you can select the desired printer,
orientation, and paper size.
------3-------------------------------------------------
Referencing Existing Custom Indicators (6.5Help/6.5Man. p.208-209, eg
create a test-version)
You can reference other custom indicators using the fml() function.
For example, the function "fml( "My MACD")" is the value of the formula that contains the
text "My MACD" in its name. The entire name is not required--only enough of the name
to make it unique. However, preference is given to the formula name that exactly matches.
So if another formula named "MyMACD2" existed, "MyMACD" would be used since it
matches exactly.
---snip---------
--------------------------------------------------------
Else, your "formula.dat" file is corrupted (most likely by the program itself).
A replacement of this file by the original file, and than later adding your customs again,
will be sufficiant enough:
- Use text files (copy&paste) to export your customs first, than
- Replace "formula.dat" by the original, and than
- Add the customs from the text files(copy&paste), and
- Make a backup from this new "formula.dat" file for unforseen future use.
