MT5 Backtest icustom read error

I Kai Wu 2019.09.26 04:06

Hello All,

I have an iCustom call in an EA. Trying to run backtest but ran into read error as shown below.

2019.09.26 11:50:03.334 file Indicators\Quantile based signed volume analysis 1.1 update read error

Read some manual and tried #property tester_indicator "indicator_name.ex5"

it did not work. Not quite sure what is wrong. Below is the code.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.

Try to rename your indicator without using a dot.
