WL8-Community-Indicators

We’re going to put them in the WL8 Extensions Demo project on Github. That’s where they logically belong.

So these 4 that were in WL7 we have to make our own extension from github to use them with WL8?

We will provide a downloadable dll and link to it from the github page, so you won’t need to build the library yourself.

I should have it ready in a little while.

In the GitHub site its says the following;

"An open-source class library for Wealth-Lab 8, containing Indicators, and an example custom extension with child window. You can download the DLL for this library and save it into your WL8 installation folder from this link:" I cant find such folder and don't know what to do with the dll

After you download it then put the dll file in your folder programfiles/quantacula/wealthlab8

Then restart wealthlab

Another handy way of opening the installation folder is right clicking the WL8 desktop icon and selecting “Open Containing Folder.”

Thanks it now in the right place put an error is created

CODE:
using WealthLab.Backtest;
using System;
using WealthLab.Core;
using WL8ExtensionDemos;
using WealthLab.Indicators;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace WealthScript2 
{
    public class MyStrategy : UserStrategyBase
    {
        //create indicators and other objects here, this is executed prior to the main trading loop
        public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars)
        {
         PlotIndicator(new HiLoLimit(bars,14,2.00,2.00), WLColor.FromArgb(255,0,0,255), PlotStyle.Line);
        }

        //execute the strategy rules here, this is executed once for each bar in the backtest history
        public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx)
        {
            if (!HasOpenPosition(bars, PositionType.Long))
            {
                //code your buy conditions here
            }
            else
            {
                //code your sell conditions here
            }
        }

        //declare private variables below

    }
}

15: The type or namespace name 'HiLoLimit' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The compiler is suggesting where the error is:

QUOTE:
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

If you download the source code and open Indicators/HiLoLimit.cs then it's clear that the namespace is WealthLab.Community and your script does not contain a using directive for that.

Eugene, can we add a sample Strategy to that Github page to avoid other users getting caught with this?

Done with that. Also I uploaded the binary to Github's Releases section:
