When the green and red VSA indicators have disappeared from your chart and the diamond trend is all gray, you will need to reset the activation of both the TG_VSAPlugin and the TG_VSAScanner on your computer.


These steps will help you perform the activation reset.

  3. Open the TradeGuider47 folder.
  4. Open the Configuration folder.

    1. If there are no config files then skip to the next step.
  6. In MT5 create a new profile.
    1. Click File on the menu, choose Profiles, then choose Save As, name your new profile.

    1. To remove the indicators right click on the chart, choose Indicator List, then select the indicator and click the Delete button on the right. Repeat until all indicators have been removed, then click the close button.
