When you receive a disk or CD that contains an indicator, a ShowMe or PaintBar study, a trading system, or a function in ELA file format, do not use the Windows Explorer, the Windows File Manager, or the DOS COPY command to copy these analysis techniques into TradeStation or SuperCharts. Instead, you must use the Transfer feature.
To transfer an analysis technique into TradeStation Or SuperChartsfrom another directory, a disk, or a CD, when it is in the ELA file format, use the following steps:

1. Use the Tools - Power Editor menu sequence to access the Power Editor. SuperCharts uses the Quick Editor.

2. Use the File Open - Power/Quick Editor menu sequence to access the Open File dialogue box.

3. Click the Transfer button to produce the Transfer Analysis Techniques dialog.

4. Click the Transfer analysis techniques FROM Easy Language Archive file radio button to transfer in analysis techniques.

5. Click on OK to produce the Transfer from archive file dialog.

6. In the From edit box, enter the complete path name for and the name of the Easy Language Archive file (.ELA) from which you want to transfer the analysis techniques. Enter the path name and file name using one of the following methods:

a) If you have previously transferred files, TradeStation remembers where the ELA files were located and lists the ELA file names in the From drop-down list. Choose an ELA file from the drop-down list.

b) In the From edit box, type in the drive letter, the correct path name, and the ELA file name. For example, C:\OMEGA \STC\SYSTEM, where C: is the drive letter, STC\SSYSTEM is the directory path name, and SYSTEM.ELA is the ELA file name TradeStation is to create.

c) Click on the Browse button to access the standard Windows Open dialog, in which you can choose the directory and the ELA file that contains the analysis techniques you want to transfer in. Once you specify the file and click OK, the information is placed in the From edit box.

d) Click the Scan button to have TradeStation scan any drive you specify for existing ELA files. Any ELA files found are placed in the From drop-down list. You can then choose the ELA file that contains the analysis techniques you want to transfer in from the drop-down list.

6. Once you enter the information in the From edit box, click on OK to produce the Transfer dialog.

7. Click on the radio button for Transfer All and transfer in all the analysis techniques found in the ELA file.

8. Once you select either the specific analysis technique type or Transfer All, click on OK.

a) If you selected Transfer All, TradeStation begins transferring in the analysis techniques contained in the ELA file you specified. If an analysis technique with the same name as one you are transferring in already exists in TradeStation, a warning dialog will appear indicating that the duplicate analysis technique was not transferred.

Once you have highlighted the analysis techniques you want to transfer in, click on OK. TradeStation begins transferring the analysis techniques from the ELA file into TradeStation. If an analysis technique with the same name as one you are transferring in already exists in TradeStation, a warning dialog will appear indicating that the duplicate analysis technique was not transferred.

9. When TradeStation is finished transferring the analysis techniques in from the ELA file, you will see the Transfer Success confirmation. Click ok to return to the PowerEditor.

You can now insert the analysis technique into your TradeStation chart. For information on inserting the different analysis techniques into your chart window, go here.
