i think that the indi uses the full name with ..ex4 extension to verify the name
and when you compare the name, you only compare the name without the extension.

what I mean is your code is something like that :

Code: Select all

if (name != "Advanced StepRSI + smoothing + fl's + alerts + arrows")
	Print("error");
 
and should rather be :

Code: Select all

if (name != "Advanced StepRSI + smoothing + fl's + alerts + arrows" && 
    name != "Advanced StepRSI + smoothing + fl's + alerts + arrows.ex4")
	Print("error");
 
otherwise it's impossible to embed the indi

No, the name protection is a function embedded that automatically reads the name in the mt4 file path. Have not had any issues with EA's with this function, have found, for the most part found the problem was the iCustom call.
