Attempting to add the correct file gives me this message. Does anyone know how to get around this?

@TraderGB, NT8 had an error at one time that let you rename an indicator and it did not automatically rename it in the file. When they fixed it the two out of synch names cause an issue. So just set both your file name and the name in the indicator in synch.

Good Trading All !!!

@SodyTexas please correct this indicator:



It's a DLL, which is not allowed.

Please edit the upload after re-exporting as a non-DLL, and post here to let me know so I can update everyone.

Hi guys,

Actually, I realize just now that we finally completed all the eligible indicators! @SodyTexas's was the last one in February, and I made a mistake by linking @TraderGB's because that was in March. For this first contest, the cut-off was February.

So give me a bit to calculate the winners and I'll be back...

Hi guys,

First, let me congratulate everyone! I think we are all winners here, because everyone benefits when our Downloads area is full of fantastic and useful tools for our platforms.

I calculated the first eligible entry as ID # 2297 and the last as entry ID # 2319 (the cutoff for the last being end of February).

This challenge was focused on the number of thanks, so based on that we have our winners!

1st place: @bobc635* => Congrats on winning a $150 Amazon Gift Card!
2nd place: @SodyTexas* => Congrats on winning a $100 Amazon Gift Card!
3rd place: @Rickb* => Congrats on winning a $50 Amazon Gift Card!

A couple of asterisks, lol...:
@bobc635 is in both first and second place with different indicators. Since you can only win once, I've selected him for only first place.

@SodyTexas submitted a DLL file which is against site rules. I do believe this was simply a mistake based on his history on the site. He hasn't logged back on recently to correct it, unfortunately, so I am holding his 2nd place winner until he does replace the file with open source code and remove the DLL.

@Rickb in third place is tied with the same number of thanks as @bobc635, but again, since he can win only once he was assigned #1 and @Rickb assigned #3.

I will be in touch via Direct Message to the winners to give them their Amazon gift cards!

This table is sorted by the number of thanks, then by creation date. The download count is just for information.

If it matters... The second place winner was a closed source indicator (DLL). I personally do not care, but it may matter to some of the other submitters.

I believe there has, if I'm not mistaken, always been an open source policy?

Just thought I would point that out.

Uhm... read what you quoted

I would like to see creativity instead of taking an existing indicator and dressing it up with your clothes. I like original. I would give extra points for something that can assist with Forex Pairs since they are the most manipulated. If I were judging.

Everyone can vote based on what serves them best. So in your case, don't vote using the "thanks" button unless it meets your criteria
