Journal Tells Me "Found indicator with same params...&a

[Takashi]

I am new to FT API and try figuring out how to create my own strategy.

I wrote the follwing code in ResetStrategy() function in C++.

Code: Select all

char buff[1000];
sprintf(buff, "%d;0;0;%s;Close", 75, StrMAType(ma_EMA));
Ind75EMA = CreateIndicator(Currency, 240, "MovingAverage", buff);

Starting test then I have got the message below in the journal.

Found indicator with same params: MovingAverage.dll, (75;0;0;Exponential (EMA);Close)

Can anybody tell me what this means? Does it mean you do not need to create the indicator with CreateIndicator()? Or Should I just ignore it?

Hello, this means that you already have the same indicator on the chart and that indicator will be used for calculations, so please ignore this message.

I understand now. Thank you for the reply.
