Hi, anyone resolved something similar? I am trying to use a home made indicator in my strategy and it won’t find it… How I call my indicator from within the strategy lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop[ATRlevel]" see attachemnts, first is the actual indicator, it has one input and two outputs second is the error message i get. probably something really dim ive done..anyone got any ideas? Thanks myATRstop indicator: atr=AverageTrueRange[14](close)*multiplier longstoplevel=lowest[14](low-atr) shortstoplevel=highest[14](low+atr) //longstoptrigger=low shortstoplevel[1] //DRAWARROWUP (0, longstoplevel) COLOURED (255, 0, 0) return longstoplevel[1] as "Long level", shortstoplevel[1] as "Short level" //, shortstoptrigger*shortstoplevel as "Short trigger", longstoptrigger*longstoplevel as "Long trigger"

Hi, anyone resolved something similar?

I am trying to use a home made indicator in my strategy and it won’t find it…

How I call my indicator from within the strategy
```
lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop[ATRlevel]" 
```
see attachemnts, first is the actual indicator, it has one input and two outputs

second is the error message i get.

probably something really dim ive done..anyone got any ideas? Thanks

myATRstop indicator:
```
atr=AverageTrueRange[14](close)*multiplier
longstoplevel=lowest[14](low-atr)
shortstoplevel=highest[14](low+atr)
//longstoptrigger=low<longstoplevel[1]
//shortstoptrigger=high>shortstoplevel[1]
//DRAWARROWUP (0, longstoplevel) COLOURED (255, 0, 0)

return longstoplevel[1] as "Long level", shortstoplevel[1] as "Short level"

//, shortstoptrigger*shortstoplevel as "Short trigger", longstoptrigger*longstoplevel as "Long trigger"
```

You should call your indicator like this instead:
```
lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop"[ATRlevel] 
```
If I understand correctly, you want to modify the default parameter of the called indicator with (‘multiplier’ variable) with ‘ATRlevel’ from the strategy?
