matthewting,

this can happen if for example Multicharts is run as administrator, but PL Editor is not (or vice versa). I would suggest making sure that you run both PL Editor and Multicharts with administrator privileges.

Thank you.

I copy the signal code to indicator , but the marketposition is unavailable , inserting the indicator will be more buy arrow in chart(), instead of the one buy arrow and one sell arrow(). How can I used other function to fix it?
Thanks.
