Rolf,
You have to include your custom indicator code in your strategy code. This can be done a number of ways: - copy the custom indicator code into your strategy code. - #include your custom indicator AFL at the top of your strategy code. If you have a need to call your indicator over and over again in your strategy, then you should encapsulate your indicator's logic in a function (lookup "function" in the Help file) which you would #include at the top of both your indicator AFL and strategy AFL. It's a good idea to use _SECTION_BEGIN and _SECTION_END around your indicator code. That way the indicator parameters are grouped together on the Parameters form (access through either right-clicking on a chart or the Parameters button in Automatic Analysis). The only way I know to have the AFL editor recognize a custom indicator name is to create the indicator in a plug-in using the AmiBroker ADK and a programming language / compiler that supports Windows DLL files.
