Indicator incompatibility on Mac
24 Oct 2024, 08:22

Trading Sessions indicator:
https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/3974/

Hello friends, this is the indicator that I have designed to manage the sessions. But it seems that it does not work properly in Mac operating system.
In case I wrote it with .NET 6 and no error or warning is observed during compilation.
How can I fix the indicator problem?

Unfortunately it doesn't help. You need to provide us with source code and exact steps to reproduce the problem
