Then, you have to install Node.js if you don't already have it. Use the link below.\
<https://nodejs.org/en>

After installing node.js, download the archive with the indicator example below and extract it to a convenient location.

{% file src="/files/TFaBcjkMWjOd9Wv1X14Q" %}

Open the extracted folder **"Moving Average"** and inside of it you should find another folder **"custom\_indicator"**, open it with Cursor (Picture #2 and #3).

If you get a pop-up like this, click **"Yes, I trust the authors"**

Then, by clicking the icon shown on Picture #5 you should open the terminal and install the dependencies using the command `npm install`.

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`.

{% hint style="success" %}
If you get an error that goes like this:

```
cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.
For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at
https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170. At line:1 char:1
```

Then you need to enter command `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser` and then try`npm install` and then `npm run build` command again.
{% endhint %}

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).

From there, your indicator should appear in **"My Indicators"** dropdown menu (Picture #8).
