I am getting a new desktop and moving my TOS platform over. The problem is that I have a ton of custom indicators, many from this site. I'm pretty sure all this custom code will not travel with me when I save the workspace and start it up on the new system. Has anyone else had this problem and was it fairly simple to solve. Not talking about 2 or 3 indicators here, but many. I am not even sure where I got some of them. It's 10 years of accumulation. Thanks much for your advice.
