In shortCopy WyckFlow.jar into the 'MotiveWave Extensions' folder (MotiveWave creates it itself the first time it runs — don't create it by hand), then quit MotiveWave completely and reopen it — on a Mac that means Cmd+Q, because closing the window only hides the app. Keep only one WyckFlow file in the folder; a browser sometimes saves a second download as 'WyckFlow (1).jar', which confuses MotiveWave into loading the wrong version.

Installing WyckFlow into MotiveWave is one file and one restart — but three small details reliably trip up even experienced traders. These come straight from real support questions, not from how it's "supposed" to work.

FAQ

Do I need to create the "MotiveWave Extensions" folder myself?

No — and if you create it by hand in the wrong place, MotiveWave won't read it anyway. MotiveWave creates this folder itself the very first time it starts (confirmed by the vendor's own SDK Programming Guide). If you don't see the folder, it means one of two things: MotiveWave isn't installed yet, or you've never launched it. Install/launch it once and the folder appears on its own — only then copy WyckFlow.jar in.

I copied the JAR in, but the new studies never showed up?

MotiveWave only reads the extensions folder at startup. Closing just the chart isn't enough — and on a Mac, closing the window with the red dot doesn't quit the app at all, it keeps running in the background. Use Cmd+Q (or the MotiveWave → Quit menu), then reopen it. On Windows, closing the main window is enough.

I have both WyckFlow.jar and WyckFlow (1).jar in the folder — now what?

That's the classic second-download trap: when you download the file again (say, after an update), your browser doesn't overwrite the original — it saves a second copy next to it as WyckFlow (1).jar. MotiveWave can then end up loading the stale one. Keep only one WyckFlow file in the folder — delete the older one and restart MotiveWave.

I downloaded the link on my phone — what now?

The JAR installs into MotiveWave on a desktop; a phone can't do anything with it. From your account, email yourself the download link and open it on the computer where MotiveWave actually runs — a trial-email link stays valid even if you open it a few days later.

Where exactly is the "MotiveWave Extensions" folder?

On macOS and Linux it's in your home folder (~/MotiveWave Extensions/); on Windows it's in your user folder (C:\Users\YourName\MotiveWave Extensions\). The exact folder name matters — MotiveWave only looks for that one precise name.

The full step-by-step with screenshots lives in the installation guide — licence activation, adding a study to the chart, and per-market settings.
