Please use the 'Alerts and Trading Automation' menu -> 'Import Strategies and Signals' command to import the FingerCuffs_v03.lua file (strategy). You should also import the OHLC4.lua file (indicator) by using 'Alerts and Trading Automation' menu -> 'Import Indicators' commands.
The import of the indicator is required for working of a strategy.
If the problem persists, please provide the text of the error message.

The McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of Advancing issues less the number of declining issues.
Usually these are the stocks in a given market, valued in a single currency.
On forex market, we have a problem, growing currency against the one, automatically means a decline in the second, how to avoid ... I'll try to find a solution ...

the formula from investinganswers.com is :

(19day EMA of A-D) - (39day EMA of A-D)

...& of course at this time 'A' in this case is the buyers/day,
'D' is the sellers/day.

hope this can help.
thanks
