Where to find the tradestation code?

I got a question on how to get to the code for the tradestation indicators. To copy the code, click on a blog post's heading [for e.g. 'Fed Funds Target rate'] and the code for the indicator is the first comment. The code then needs to be copied to a new indicator/paintbar on your tradestation platform. Once that is created you can then apply that indicator/paintbar to any of your charts. This whole process requires some good knowlege of the platform [in my view a force multiplier on TS].

Most of the indicators have the code attached. Some that don't are because they are a bit involved but if you are interested please leave me a comment and I will be more than happy to share any of the indicators.
