I'm trying to use the Add method to build a multi time frame indicator, but it is not working. In going over the help file for Add I see it makes repeated referrence to building a strategy and never (?) mentions building an indicator.
Q1) Does this mean that it (Add) cannot be used to build an indicator?
===
There are some mentions of multiple time frame indicators in the forum. I tried to down load one but the file attached to the forum article was a .cs rather than a NinjaScript Archive File (.zip?), and the import function seems to recognize only the latter.
Q2) Is there a way to take that .cs file I downloaded from the forum and add it to the list of Ninja indicators (so I can read and modify the source) without using the Import function?
===
The more I read your help files the more I get the impression that strategies are more useful than indicators, that they have "Powers and Abilities far beyond those of mere indicators".
Q3) Should I just stop wasting my time on indicators and start developing strategies instead?
Another way of looking at this last point - strategies appear to be able to do things that indicators cannot.
Q4) Is there anything an indicator can do that a strategy cannot?

(FYI, I've been programing for decades, but I am new to Ninja script.)
