Your screen shots are useful. Was the custom indicator made in the same version of GSB as what you are running?
If so zip up the custom indicator file, and send it to me via dropbox or similar, or email if its 10mb or less.

This is my speculation to what happend.
You created the custom indicator with data1 (only) in GSB. You then run GSB with >1 data stream. (maybe restarted GSB)
Your indicator did not come up in my GSB (2 data streams)
I then ran GSB with one data stream only, then did load custom indicator, and the indicator appeared in GSB.
Normally you dont need to do load custom indicators.
Let me know if this fixes it. The clue was the txt file you sent had only one data stream.

Whatever I try, there doesn`t appear a customindicator in GSB
No different with one or more datafeed applied.
The manual for customindicators says: GSB will convert these to binary later. I don`t get this bin file, only the txt file wich Tradestation writes
appears

Hi Josef,
I will give you two options.
1) Start the process agin in GSB and see if it works.
Be consistent in how many data streams you have.
2) zip up the entire GSB folder and send to me with a dropbox or similar link. Dont email it.
Save your app settings and optimizer settings into a file, and give me the file names.
Peter

Did initially further search. Seems GSB is inconsistent with
reading price data names.
Relevant areas in screenshots marked in red

There was a reference earlier to an indicator calculated in Excel, with its output in the form of a csv file - let's say on the close of the data
series. I don't understand how it can be implemented in GSB as a custom indicator.
In contrast, the example given in the doc is perfectly feasible. In that case, a new indicator is created out of 2 underlying ones with hidden code.
They look to me to be Jurik indicators, which I don't use.
The indicator generated in GSB is referencing the underlying Jurik indicators to make its calculations. And, going forward, there would be no problem
in making the proper calculations.
As for the Excel indicator, I'm totally in the dark as to how it could be implemented in GSB. Unless an indicator is, first, created in TS, equivalent
to the one in Excel. And then GSB can generate a custom indicator referencing the one in TS.

I have no idea why someone wants to do this, but someone asked and it can be done in the latest beta. (released next week)
I think its because the person who wanted it is not using TS

Linking up with Excel is very innovative. Maybe you can do a little write-up on how it works when the build is released. Thanks

I dont see the need for it unless you dont use TS. I will write it up after the user has tested it more.
Basically the indicator file needs to look like this.
Date Time|AI(Close)|AI2(Close)
20170118|160216|-3085.1|-2864.5
20170118|160217|-3085.1|-2864.5
20170118|160218|-3085.1|-2864.5
file name is AI.500.636404145543491561.gsbcustindic.txt
path is
GSB-Workplace-Test\Data (DropBox Shared Folder)\Indicators Data\ES.10.tick.Price
ES.10.tick.Price is the symbol of data1
You need to go to tools , custom indicators & load the data.

Force Use
How do we Force Use of a custom indicator? If I set Force Use as a Main indicator in GSB 41.09 to True, as soon as the generate starts, GSB sets it
back to False.

This is supposed to work. We will investigate. The programmer is looking into it.

This is a bug. Will pass back to the programmer. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Basic questions
In MC at least - haven't tried TS - it seems what we are after is a Custom Function, not a Custom Indicator, because Functions return values, whereas
Indicators do not. Or am I missing something?
Is there any particular value range of output values that GSB is looking for, or will the Genetic Evolution take care of determining that? A function
could provide anything from true/false to a wide range of numeric values.
My first foray is with a Volume Delta function, whose output is up volume - down volume for the current bar. Of course this can provide a wide range
of output values. Just want to make sure GSB can make us of this.

You can use any range as GSB normalizes them.
