Can not get "ReplaceStr" proc address

[numbercruncher]

Congratulations on an awesome application.

I am trying to create an MA indicator using C++.
It compiles ok. I've dropped the dll in the indicators directory but it is not available to FT.
The LOGS directory has a file - ForexTester.log and I see this line in it -
.2009.08.09 22:01:30 (TDllIndicator.create) Can not load indicator MyMA.dll, have error: Can not get "ReplaceStr" proc address

Looks like I've missed something out. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

You should make some procedures visible for Forex Tester defining them in EXPORTS section including ReplaceStr procedure. For C++ (I think you use this language) you need to attach a file like this to a project (this is for strategy) see lesson 1:

LIBRARY DemoStrategy

EXPORTS InitStrategy
DoneStrategy
ResetStrategy
GetSingleTick
ReplaceStr
IntrfProcsRec

OK, now it works - my def file was a bit thin.

Great now I'm converting indicators - this is really cool.

Thank you very much for taking the time and making the effort to write this and make it available. This could change lives.

Forgive me for resurrecting this post but I have the same problem trying to install an indicator that I made. Following the example in the Ishimoku.def file my def file contains

Code: Select all

LIBRARY ROUNDNR

EXPORTS Init
   Calculate
   ReplaceStr
   IntrfProcsRec

The only functions I have in my cpp file so far are Init and Calculate.
When I try to install that .dll file I get the same message as numbercruncher

I have disabled the incremental linking and I have added the .def file in Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input->Module Definition File

I am using Forex Tester 2.5 and the project is made with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. Any help please?

Nevermind. For some PEBCAC reason the .def file that should be edited was not the same that I edited. So no game. Everything works fine now
