I am unable to see any of these indicators under weathlab.indicators name space.

Well, that's correct. Who said they should be found under WeathLab.Indicators? They are under TASCIndicators.

1. Open up the Indicators list.
2. Expand the TASCIndicators group.
3. Highlight (almost) any indicator.
4. Click "More info..."

Voila. Our Wiki opens in your browser with the selected indicator's syntax and (possibly) code sample and/or pointer to TASC Traders' Tip article where it has appeared (optionally).

Just received a report that WLP 6.9.12 doesn't recognize TASCIndicators.dll although it's installed. While we're investigating it I believe this should fix it:

1. Close WLP.
2. In Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Fidelity Investments\Wealth-Lab Pro 6
3. Right-click on TASCIndicators.dll, see if it's marked as "File downloaded from the internet". Uncheck the flag. Apply. OK.
4. Restart WLP.

EDIT

It doesn't help. It turned out that TASCIndicators was excluded from installation in 6.9.12. As a workaround, reinstall it from Extensions section:

TASC Magazine Indicators

For this you might need to go through quick verification of WLP entitlement: please create a support ticket.

Correction to Eugene's report:

TASCIndicators appears to have been inadvertently excluded from the final WLP 6.9 build (6.9.12). No problem, just download it from the TASCIndicators Extensions page, double click the .wle file to install it, and then restart WLP.

Correction to my own report:

Despite my own experience of missing the TASC library in one of my installations of WLP, TASCIndicators are included in 6.9.12, but are loading an older version (2014.07) than what's currently available (2015.10).

Assuming that the library is really installed, WLP users can get the new version by opening the Extension Manager, selecting Show: Other Extensions, and then click on the "Updates" button. "TASC Magazine Indicators 2014.07" should appear with an "Update Now" button.
