If I have a custom indicator called MOM1_IL and this is a custom function in TS or MC, I would like to use it in the following expression as an
indicator value:
LinearRegValueFC(XAverage(MOM1_IL,XLen), LRLen,0)
XLen and LRLen are variables that I want to optimize from the following:
XLen (75 to 250, by 5)
LRLen (5 to 100, by 5)
Wider steps can also be used. How do I put this in a custom indicator. The MOM1_IL function is already in the TS or MC function lists and is
verified.
Is this possible? I think it is if I understand your example

in ts make a function called mom1
The rest should be simple if you look at the custom indicator docs. If your stuck let me know.

After deciphering the doc guide, it seems to me that GSB constructs a new and independent custom indicator based on the values created by the
original.
The parameters of the new custom indicator are optimised in GSB and are re-optimised in the walk-forward process.
The new hybrid indicator could very well be superior to the original. But it isn't possible to do a comparison between the original fixed-parameter
version and the new customised version within GSB.
The way GSB treats custom indicators is dramatically different from the way Builder does it. In the latter, the parameters are fixed in the EL code
you provide. There is no optimisation whatsoever, but you remain strictly with the original indicator.

You can always make a GSB custom indicator that has no steps. I dont see the point as its a backwards move.
Your correct about Builder custom indicator being fixed. No other indicator is fixed in GSB or Builder, so why make the exception to custom
indicators?
I suspect the only reason they are fixed in Builder is its too hard to make Builder do it. (though its possible)

I think I posted this in the wrong forum. There are 2 fora with almost the same name and this is unnecessarily confusing. I should repost it in the
correct forum and pick up the conversation over there.
