Writing custom indicators for Radar Screen

[Clipper52]

I purchased a copy of TradeStation 2000i Prosuite premium edition from a vendor in eBay. I have attached screen shots of the version numbers that I am currently running on my PC.

The problem I am having is not being able to write new indicators for the Radar screen. As can be seen in the screen shots, within my EasyLanguage Power Editor, there isn't a check box for Radar screen under the application tab. The screen shots also show one of the Radar indicators written by Omega together with the properties for this indicator. As we can seen, there isn't a check box for Radar screen, however, the Chart Analysis check box is uncheck.

I can still make this work for new radar indicators just by saving an existing Radar indicator (that works) under a different name and put in the new codes.

But I would rather know why there isn't a check box for Radar screen under the application tab.

I appreciate any helps available and I thank you in advance.

Yes I have this problem (along with many others), there is a working solution.

1) Take an existing indicator which is available to radarscreen and load it into the easy language editor.
2) Save this indicator under a new name.
3) Modifiy the code of this new indicator to whatever you require.
4) Verify the new indicator.

This new saved indicator should now be available to Radarscreen using the "Insert indicator" option

My TS 8.2 Radarscreen does not show norrmal indicators for choosing? This is available just a small number of indicators. Anyone could help me please?

I've got the same problem with TS 8 and the RadarScreen, how can I insert third party indicators.

You need to make sure that the window that you have open says RadarScreen and not TradeStation Quotes. If the window says quotes, like it does in your above picture example, then this is most likely because you are not subscribed to the RadarScreen. If you are subscribed to RadarScreen then you should have available about all indicators that are available to charting. The quotes framework will only have available to it those indicators that use snapshot data.
