Could you post the .set file and a screen shot of how it looks so someone can look any possible issues?

I have this error message showing in the expert tab. Not sure when it started, but wasn't there when i had just started using the indicator. Anything to correct?
I'm using the attached version of the indicator (should be the same as the one attached to post #1); and also the MT4 version, and the parameters, shown in the screenshot below. I can't reproduce the error you're getting (I get a different error!! — see my screenshot). These errors are posted by MT4, not the indicator, and I can't dig into MT4's source code to get more info. Because it doesn't say which string is not being initialized, it's difficult for me to troubleshoot further.
However, I doubt that the error is affecting the indicator's calculations. You could look at the relevant charts (instrument, time period) on your MT4 and confirm whether the instruments at the top of PSA's list are the most steeply trending upward or downward. If the log files in your ..../MQL4/Logs folder are growing too large, causing a disk space problem, it's safe to delete the oldest ones.
There are many other strength indicators available: see the green typeface in this post.

Could you please confirm that even after a minute or two, there wasn't the error msg.
[EDIT] I'm not 100% sure what is causing the "PSA: cannot open file" error, but I suspect it might be because I have two instances of PSA with non-unique file names in the OutputFile and CurrencyCrosstabFile settings, and both instances are trying to write to the same file simultaneously.
Glad you like the indicator. My apologies, I should have recalled the discussions we had earlier in the thread, but my ageing memory is not as good as it once was.

As shown, the strengths are arranged from <the most bullish to the least bullish>, and <the least bearish to to most bearish> ....
BUT i need it to be on a scale of 100.
Such that vertically, it displays +100 to 0 and 0 to -100.
What setting do i need to use at for FinalScaleValue?

I have just made a small enhancement; here is how FinalScaleValue works now:
- If its value is 0 or 1, the calculated values are displayed as is, without any scaling.
- If its value is >1, then the calculated values are scaled to fit the value you input. For example, if you input 1000, then the highest (absolute) value is scaled up or down to +/- 1000, and all other values are scaled by the same factor.
The sign of the value you input (+ or –) determines the way the displayed data is sorted:
- If this value is positive, the data is sorted so that the highest positive/negative data (strongest uptrend/downtrend) displays at the top of the list, and the values taper down toward 0 (price is moving sideways) at the bottom of the list.
- If this value is negative, the data is sorted so that the highest positive data (strongest uptrend) displays at the top of the list, and the highest negative data (strongest downtrend) at the bottom of the list.
This applies only to the pairs display.
The currencies will always display from the highest positive data (strongest currency) at the top of the list, to the highest negative data (weakest currency) at the bottom of the list.
A little experimentation should make everything clear.
I've uploaded the latest version of the .ex4 to post #1.
Anybody wanting the .mq4 file, please see post #370.

Up until now this wasn't possible.......
Thank you @hanover for the update.
Currently not sure whether the problem is on my side, when i load the new version (with default values), it shows as seen in the image on the right.
No matter what i in put as settings, it keeps like that.
One on the left is the defaults for the earlier version.

...Try the latest uploaded version in post #1, and please confirm that it's working correctly now, exactly as described in post #372.
Fired up and now working properly on MT4 build 1260!
No phrase of appreciation can express my actual appreciation.
Thank you @hanover
