Can I Link the source code to an external cs. file in Indicator Builder like in the Strategy Window (The C# Coded Strategy window)? I don't see the icon at the top in Indicator Builder. If not available in Ind Bldr. can I create an Indicator in the Strategy window and exported as an indicator to My Indicators? Thanks.

No it’s not available there.
Could this feature be placed in the wishlist?
We'd prefer to steer people to developing indicator libraries in an external development tool, rather than build more support for the integrated indicator editor. There are some technical challenges around .NET that limits how useful our built-in indicator builder can be as opposed to full-fledged indicator library assemblies.
Ok that route might be better for me. What are the proper instructions in using this method? In other words if I create an indicator in Visual Studio how do I import it into My indicators folder? Is it just copy/paste?
Here's the relevant answer from the online manual:

After you implement and build your library, simply copy the resulting assembly DLL into the WL8 installation folder.

Thank you.
The following procedure works good for working with discrete indicators code in Visual Studio:
1- Create an Indicator in Indicator Builder as a base. Compile then save to My Indicators.
2- Close WL8 platform.
3- Right click the .cs file just created located in the WL8 data folder, open in Visual Studio.
4- Update and debug the file in Visual Studio as needed. Save the file in its original location.
5- Re-Open WL8 and the indicator will be automatically updated in My Indicators folder.
NOTE:
In addition if you need the WL8 Intellisense to work in Visual Studio properly follow this procedure:
Create New Project in VS NET 6 Class Library and install WL8 References.
Located here C:\Program Files\Quantacula, LLC\WealthLab 8
Copy/Paste just created strategy/indicator .cs file from WL8 code folder. To VS. project folder.
The only drawback is that you have to close (step 2 above) and re-open WL8 for the indicator to update, it will not whilst WL8 is open.
Hope this helps. Any comments remarks please post. Thanks.
