bars since session

[mastercraft29]

Hello - I am looking for a way to plot the number of bars since session in NT8 but have not found a way to do so. For instance i want the first bar to be labeled as 1,2,3 so on..Is this possible? I am no good with programming so have no idea where to start as far as building my own indicator. I do have this indicator for NT7 (attatched) but again have no idea how to convert it to NT8. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

Hello Josh,

Thank you for your note.

Yes, this would be possible to do in NinjaTrader 8 however would require some coding knowledge. You could try using the resources below to convert the indicator from NT7, or if you'd like I can have someone from business development reach out with a list of third parties that would be interested in converting this for you.

On our indicators section of our forum, I did see one called Bar Counter which sounds like it does what you want. Please see the following link and look for Bar Counter.

Regarding converting, there is not an official indicator/strategy converter which takes scripts from NT7 and converts them to NT8 however on the forum there is a post which provides script for conversion.

I’d like to mention its best to do a manual conversion for accuracy as not all scripts are simple enough to be converted directly.

Also below I’ve provided a link to code breaking changes which you should consider when converting your scripts:

Thank you Alan! The indicator you recommended looks like it will work.

Thanks for the help!
