Indicator Description

Hi All,
This is a new hot indicator that is released in TASC magazine Jan 2010 called Vortex Indicator

The article by Etienne Botes and Douglas Siepman in this issue, “The Vortex Indicator”, demonstrates another reliable technical indicator for trading a change in market direction. The vortex indicator was developed as a new directional movement indicator, drawing inspiration from J. Welles Wilder’s directional movement indicator, as well as another unrelated and improved directional indicator.

It doesn´t work in FSB 3.6.8:

ERROR: "Vortex Indicator" compilation failed.
Line 79 Column 36: The name 'SlotTypes_OpenFilter' does not exist in the current context

I´ve also checked, there is no DLL for Vortex at ..\User Files\Libraries, only for all the other indicators and they all show a creation time as of todays date. Which shows that Vortex is the only one that could not be compiled because of the above error....
Also not working for me, with the same message...
Well, you can update the indicator and see if it works.
