Default Custom Indicator

If I create an indicator, let's say, similar to MA that is in it's *own window*, how do I get NT to recognize it? Do I reference it in the script editor?

Not sure what you mean "own window". You would call any custom indicator exactly the same way as you would any of the default indicators.

Default re: custom indicator

when I pull up a Market Analyzer window, or a Data Window, it's a windows form app, right? I mean, as opposed to an indicator which displays within the existing chart, or in a panel below the main chart. How do I get NT to recognize it? I don't know how else to ask. Do I make a reference to it, like calling a .dll or something?(right click on NinjaScript editor and choose reference)?

Hello,


So your custom indicator creates a completely new window? This is beyond the level of support we provide at NinjaTrader.

Default re: ouch

i was afraid you were gonna say that. Can't you guys post one sample advanced scripting indicator? Like how to pop up a window, or something that goes one level deeper? There's no where to turn to get info like that. It's a drag.

funk101,

Unfortunately this is just too advanced C# for us to support on these forums. You can try browsing MSDN for information.
