Hi, Molanic,

I am facing a problem when I want to import my Custom Indicator, the error message as following: Error: Can't read the Custom Indicator. Aborting! please verify that you are reading an MQL file.\ nIn the Custom field insert the indicator name and variables. Kindly let me know what's wrong with it and how to solve the problem?

Thank you for your help.

This indicator is not well written.
It has defined variables that are used as a help - so they are no real variables.
Just change it from
extern string TypeHelp="SMA- 0, EMA - 1, SMMA - 2, LWMA- 3";
extern string TypeHelp2="John Hyden settings TypeMA1=0, TypeMA2=3";
to
//extern string TypeHelp="SMA- 0, EMA - 1, SMMA - 2, LWMA- 3";
//extern string TypeHelp2="John Hyden settings TypeMA1=0, TypeMA2=3";

Hi, Molanis,

Thank you for your quick reply.

After I changed according to your instruction. But the problem still the same. May I know why?

Thank you.
