Greetings, I am trying to load a dll file that is being shared with me. It's of chart settings/studies/indicators. I have downloaded this link into the ACS_Source under analysis. When I try to open the file I get what looks to me to be a coding popup that is on notepad ++ ~~source code file must include this line~~ How do I resolve this issue I am having with a dll file being shared with me. Thank you |

You need to save the DLL in the c:\sierrachart\data folder before you can add it as a custom study.

I have done these steps. I still get the code pop-up, "the top of every source code file must include this line". Please see attachment.

That message means the CPP is missing the #include statement: // The top of every source code file must include this line
#include "sierrachart.h" |

So it looks like you have just been provided the CPP file and not the the DLL file?

I don't see a "cpp" on it, it says I have a dll file according to the file name. Also, I am looking into another broker, thank you, I saw your message. |

You have the original code, not a dll. We can see from your image that the filename ends in .dll.cpp, which is odd, but it is the source code. Therefore, you would need to compile the code to get the actual dll.
