After installing the dependencies, you can start writing your indicator in the index.ts file.

Once the implementation is complete, you can build the project using the command npm run build.

If you get an error that goes like this:

cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.

Then you need to enter command Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser and then trynpm install and then npm run build command again.

After building the project, a file my-indicator-project.js (Indicator file name) will appear in the dist folder.

Upload this file to the FTO (Picture #6 and #7).
