Q: What can I request here?
A: This forum is for requests for indicators, signals and strategies written in Lua for Trading Station/Marketscope application.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: If you agree that an indicator, signal or strategy can be used by any fxcodebase user, we will develop it for free. We are interested in great content for our site, so requesting the development you help us fill the site with the content which is actually interesting for real traders.
Q: How long does it take?
A: We usually have 20-40 requests in our development queue. We pay to a number of developers who develop free indicators, but we cannot afford ourselves to pay too much. So, usually the request takes up to two weeks before a developer starts working on it.
However, you can always force the development. We don't provide "first-requested-first-developed" rule. We always develop first indicators (signals, strategies) which:
a) Are interesting for many users.
b) Have a well-detailed request (well described, or when good code for other platform is added).
c) The request comes from a user who supports the site.
Q: Who can use the indicator, signal or strategy I have requested?
A: As soon as the request is completed, the code will be available for all fxcodebase.com users under a very simple "as is" license.
Q: Can I have my own private indicator (signal, strategy) developed so no one could use it?
A: Yes, you can. However, we don’t have much interest in doing it for free. Please contact the development service at development.service@gehtsoftusa.com to discuss the cost of such work.
Q: Can I request indicator (signal, strategy) for Metatrader (Strategy Trader, VTTrader, NinjaTrader), or have one of the lua indicators ported to any programming language, or use lua indicators in my application?
A: Yes, you can. Like with the development of private indicators, signals and strategies, we have no interest in doing it for free. Please contact the development service at development.service@gehtsoftusa.com to discuss the cost of such work.
Q: You, guys, do a great job here, but I don't want (cannot) pay for your services. How else can I help you?
A: You can do a lot of things which will greatly help us:
a) Participate in beta-testing programs. We need feedback about our Marketscope product from real users.
b) Write articles on the site about usage of certain indicators, signals and strategies. Share your knowledge and experience!
c) When you see that somebody asks for the autotrading for FXCM (dbFX or other broker) who uses Trading Station, just tell them about this site. If anybody looks for an indicator for Marketscope, refer them to us. This real-user feedback is extremely important for us.
