How to upload indicator to market which uses iCustom (other indicators)

[Mobin Zarekar]

Hi there, I want to upload my new indicator to market but I keep getting error. I tried to use #resources but it just doest work. Any ideas?

Resource is the right way.

"Doesn't work" is pretty useless to help and answer you.

Thank you for your response and sorry for lack of explanation.

Here is my code  : //--- Define resources 

 #define INDI_AS_RESOURCE
 #resource "\\Indicators\\Sarir\\SarirInds\\CustomSDivergence.ex5";
 #resource "\\Indicators\\Sarir\\Import\\coral.ex5";

//--- create iCustom Handles 

RDHD[i].Handle = iCustom(name, TimeFrame, "::\\Indicators\\Sarir\\SarirInds\\CustomSDivergence.ex5",isNotAllSymbols,INDS_MACD);

CORAL[i].Handle = iCustom(name, TimeFrame, "::\\Indicators\\Sarir\\Import\\coral.ex5");

Indicator compiles correctly:

but here I face error on backtesting it during debugging:

full message of error is :

2023.05.18 11:18:52.780 2023.04.06 00:00:00   cannot load resource 'C:\Users\computername\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Tester\D0E8209F77C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075\Agent-127.0.0.1-3000\MQL5\Indicators\Sarir\SarirInds\SFirstHidden.ex5::\Indicators\Sarir\SarirInds\CustomSDivergence.ex5'

and also I got following error from Market:

Sorry, I was thinking maybe a general method could be. I added detailed information on #3

The name including path is too long.

Thank you,

I changed names and directories to decrease file path, but the error is still there. 

#define INDI_AS_RESOURCE
#resource "\\Indicators\\div.ex5";
#resource "\\Indicators\\coral.ex5";

Your divergence indicator is calling other indicator(s) ?
