If an indicator is already posted in the Downloads or elsewhere on FIO, it is intended to be shared and is open source, so it is OK to modify and publish it there. (It should be renamed so it doesn't have the exact same name -- for example, it should not include the original author's prefix, such as "ama" -- so it doesn't seem as if it's their work.) Also, if it was originally published in the Downloads or elsewhere in the Elite section, the new version should also only be available in the Elite section.
I was able to find SIM22_LRC in the downloads, so if that is the original source for your indicator, it qualifies. For whatever reason, I did not find the amaVWAPDaily indicator in the FIO Downloads. I am not sure if it is one of the indicators that @Fat Tails made available on FIO, or if it is from his paid indicator website. You should check to be sure where you got it from. If the original was shared on FIO, then the modification can be as well (after renaming.)
You could also ask him. I have tagged his username in this post, and he may respond, or you can send him a DM.

Hi, I am based in the UK and considering learning about trading with the aim to provide a small income top up, e.g. £300/500 a month would be great! I appreciate the risks, have looked at various courses and followed people offering trading and uploading YT videos where they show examples of perhaps making a few hundred dollars and occasionally losing a small amount too. However, I am struggling to get a clear understanding of what the capital requirement would be to make a small income. From what I have read it would appear that the actual percentage gains are small and hence a fairly large capital is required, even to achieve just a few hundred pounds a month income. Secondly these online trainers offer ongoing support for a monthly fee which looks to be much needed. I am left with the impression that to pay for the support and make a small income requires quite a large starting capital which of course is then at risk for a relatively small percentage gain. I would be grateful for any feedback, I assume I am worse casing the possibilities! Many thanks for any guidance
I am afraid that you are actually best-casing the possibilities.
Many people would like to develop an additional income from trading, and almost none ever do, whether large or small. Those who do, generally spend a lot of time (years) and a good amount of money in losses in the process. And to repeat, they are rare.
As to people who offer YT videos and courses, the general experience on this forum is that few are at all helpful and many are harmful to your trading development. You can look over the vendor review section of this forum to get an idea of how well new traders (and experienced ones) succeed with them. To put it simply, it is possible to make a lot of money trading, but few ever do. It is much, much easier to sell something to others -- the seller does not have to take the risk with his own money, and does not have to actually know how to trade. He just has to be able to sell his advice to the hopeful, which is easy. Some may know something valuable, some (many) may just be selling snake oil. You would be well-advised to treat any with great care.
This may all sound somewhat grim, and I do not mean to discourage you. There are traders who have done well also, and you can read some of their posts in this forum. But the reality is that it is nothing like how YouTubers and course salespeople make it seem.
As to getting further into your questions, including the questions of returns and starting capital, I think the best thing would be to put the question to the general membership, to get a variety of answers.
I have opened a new thread for your question and have copied your post into it. We will see if it attracts some comment and if you can receive some additional views on the subject.

Hello to all, have a question and looking for your opinion/expertise experience with using a Heiken-Ashi/tick candle for NQ and ES. Testing it in the NT Strategy Analyzer during the trading time weather it is eth or rth gives me a idea of trend day , trend or range.
TIA

The "ask any question" thread is basically for newcomers to the forum who aren't sure how or where to post yet. We usually copy their post into a new thread in an area of the forum where it most likely will get the most attention from other members, who may then reply. It's not really intended to be the final thread for the posts.
Your question is a good one, but I've copied it out to its own thread in "Traders Hideout" so it will get more vivibility.

We make use of the "ask any question" thread to give newer members a place to ask their questions, and then we look to transfer the question to a location on the forum where it is most likely to attract attention and get a response.
Your question is actually a huge one, and many would like to know the answer, or even to know a consistently good strategy. It may be interesting to see what responses it brings.
I have created a new thread for your question in the NinjaTrader section of the forum. We will see the answers you get.
