What members see

Your members never type a name or a code: they open your link, sign in, and land on Add to chart, or on a request you approve.

Opening your link

Signed out, your link opens sign-in, headed with your name:

@yourname invited you to an Indicator

After they sign in or sign up, a Join right away link or a personal link lands them on your indicator with Add to chart, without typing anything. The invite survives the sign-up, email check included.

A personal link works for one account. Opened by a second account, it says "This personal link was already used by another account."

An Ask to join link

An Ask to join link, the default, shows a request card instead:

Invite only
Only people @yourname invites can find and add it.
Ask to join

They press Ask to join and see "Requested. You'll hear when @yourname says yes." You approve the request in the People panel (The invite link), and from then on they can add it.

After they join

The indicator is under Shared with you in the Indicators dialog, and the chart's search finds it. They add it like any other indicator (After publishing).

With Protected code, OpenMarket's servers run the indicator over the chart's candles and send back only what it draws. Your members see the plots and nothing else: there is no code to download, read or fork.

When access ends

When you remove someone, or their end date passes, the indicator stops loading for them. A Protected one stops within about 15 minutes.

A Compiled module their browser already downloaded cannot be called back: it stops updating, but it does not vanish from a page that is already open. That is one more reason to publish anything you sell as Protected.

When the link cannot open

An account that cannot use Indicators yet gets one sentence and nothing else:

This Indicator link isn't available on your account yet.

A wrong link, or one to an indicator you deleted, says "This Indicator isn't available. The link may be wrong, or the author removed it."
