How do I install the source code contained in the community and TASC source code zip files?

Hi collison,
The source code is there for advanced users who want to develop their own reusable indicators or components using Visual Studio (or another IDE). Is that what you want to do? (Most customers do not require this.)

It's not "installed" but opened in a development environment like Visual Studio.

To install Extensions please visit the Extensions section of our website. On how to install or update Wealth-Lab extensions, check out this illustrated tutorial and/or the Wealth-Lab User Guide > Extension Manager.

Cone and Eugene,

Sorry I'm still living in WLD4 land where you included all the code you needed for your strategies. So if I write my own indicators as classes that I want to include in my strategy how do I do that. I know I need to put them in a "using" statement, but where do I put the indicators so they can be searched and found?

Firstly, there are over 400 indicators in our Standard, Community and TASC indicator libraries (plus a "Neuro-Lab indicator"). Chances are this might save you from having to code your indicators. ;) Most of the popular ones have been coded. If not already, you're welcome to file a request and we'll see what can be done to deliver it to you in an easy to use form. This is the "Wealth-Lab 6" way i.e. not having to deal with the indicator code unless you're doing some really custom formulas.

And if you are after something of that kind, there are two ways:

1. Code it on-the-fly. Such 'semiformal' indicators are exemplified in a tutorial in the WealthScript Programming Guide > Indicators > Custom Indicators. Drawback: the code cannot be reused between different Strategies.

2. As you already understood, the source code libraries which can be extended with 'formal' indicators, and compiled.

So if you can tell us more about your objective, we'll try to help.

Hi Eugene,

I have a Gann Swing strategy code in WLD4 that I want to move to WLD6. The challenge is the strategy is large and relies on many heavily factored out classes. I'm overwhelmed and don't have much time to translate it over. Do you guys offer a paid service to help translate strategies?

Sorry, not right now but we certainly may consider offering one in the near future.

Is it okay for me to ask for (paid) assistance in the forum? If so which one?

No problem to ask, probably the WealthScript or General forums are a good place.
