Thaks for your help. 

The expert was not loading because it requires the indicator. 

The problem was solved. I had to add it to the chart, not only to the indicator folder-.

You almost did it. You need to put in a little effort and study the example carefully:

int OnInit()

   handle_ind=iCustom(_Symbol,_Period,"::Indicators\\SampleIndicator.ex5");
   if(handle_ind==INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      Print("Expert: iCustom call: Error code=",GetLastError());
      return(INIT_FAILED);
     }
//--- ...
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

Finally all good now in terminal and in VPS.

Now I can continue working on this EA, still some other ideas to be tested.

A lot learned today, thanks for your patience and help.
