What's up guys , today I have a question for the programmers in the forum . I want to know if I can make an indicator , that only shows the signals on ppls account , and they won't have access to the code , or the indicator itself , the indicator is in my platform , and when the arrows for example show up on mine , then they will appear in other ppl platforms . Is it possible , can it be done , is it too expensive ? I need you guys help with this , thank you very much , hope you'r doing good .

What is too expensve?

If you want something custom it will cost thousands, if not five figures. I believe there are third party commercial products available for considerably less.

It can be done but only by using an external DLL attached to it in order to submit data to an external server....which itself will need a script to accept and store data in a table. Furthermore you need your own dedicated server to accept signals from your computer (that the DLL sends out), which can either be a rented server or your own computer with everything set up properly. Renting is obviously going to cost a good chunk of change, and writing a DLL is probably beyond the capability of almost everybody here so you'll definitely be paying to put the project together.

What exactly is the challenge of writing a DLL? I have done it many times and I suspect others have as well.

Nothing complicated here.

1) Signup for a free cloud service/account like google account.
2) Write a DLL that will work on your computer and which will post your signals data on the cloud account.
3) Write a "client" DLL which will poll that same cloud account to retrieve the data.

That's it !
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.

I guess it just depends on your programming background. Most people here can't write a script much less "hello world" in C.
