Converting indicators from NT7 to NT8

[GussJ]

Hi All,
How can I start converting some of my indicators and script running in NT7 to NT8 in order to full test NT8 and compare its performance to my current NT7 which I am using for live trading.?

is there a special forum for indicators conversion?

Your feedback is appreciated

Thanks

You need to be part of the closed beta.
That would get you access to the nt8 documentation online.

Thanks for your reply,
I am already a Beta user, how can I join the closed Beta forum?
Thanks

[sledge]

You're already in it

I am unable to access the closed beta forum though?
I already have a Beta username and PW,
Thanks again

This is the closed beta forum. I've checked you forum profile account and you have access to post in this General Discussion and Issue and Bug Reports forum. Are you unable to post in Issues and Bug Reports section or are you referring to something else?

If you're maybe looking for a file sharing section for Beta, that does not exist yet.

I was looking to access the forum that shows closed beta posts.
As I mentioned earlier, I would like to convert some indicator from NT7 to NT8 and would like to have more information about that. where should I go for that? any specific forum?

Thanks agian

There is no other forum for beta. This is the only beta forum for the closed beta release.

where can I get more information about converting NT7 indicators to NT8?
As I need to test some indicators and script that I have been using in NT7 to NT 8

Thanks

You can read about the code breaking changes - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ng_changes.htm

If there is anything more specific about converting, there are no other resources that come to mind. You can use this thread to ask specific questions / problems you run into while you convert your indicators.

Thanks Mathew,
I am not a programmer as much as a user/trader, and would like to start testing and using NT8 for trading.
so I was wondering if there are some indicators that have already been converted from NT7 to NT8, or if there is a plan for NT to convert some of the common indicators that where available on the forum for NT7 to NT8?

Thanks

I see - thanks for the clarification.

There are some various indicators users have posted here or there during closed beta, but there is not a collection of them. We will be making a file sharing section by the time we go to open beta. There should be updates regarding this in the very near future.

Our team is working on converting some of the more popular NT7 indicators and we'll have those posted by open beta.

Thanks Mathew for your clarification.
So there is not place to list some of the indicators that I use or like to have them converted to NT8 at this stage?
Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

You could do that here if you wanted.

[GussJ]

where can I post the list?
and do I need to attach the indicators as some are custom made?

Thanks
