Add Custom Indicator to D3SpotterV1

[richbois]

This sounds like an issue with proper color serialization to allow saving the settings - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4977

Thank you very much Bertrand it was missing the
[XmlIgnore()]

should every parameter have that line ???

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, for proper saving in chart templates this would be recommended.

Hi David,

I wanted to thak you for th D3 spotter indicator. I wanted to know a little bit about the indicator and how to use it.

What the arrows and the yellow dots mean?
What to do when the arrow or the yellow dots on the price chart pop up?
What the parameters mean?

Sometimes I see the yellow dots or the arrows pop up, but the price still moves against the direction of the arrow or the yellow dot.

Why are the yellow dots on the price chart sometimes far away from the bar, and sometimes right at the edge of the bar. What does it mean.

Thank you for your help and any insight.

Anyone was able to use this indicator with V7 as I tried but it failed to import it.

So if anyone found what is the problem would you be kind enough to explain what I need to change or post the modified versions.

Thanks

I dont use this indicator, but I didn't know that indicators would stop working in version 7! Can I just stay on the old version?

I managed to get it working but first you need to import it from 6.5 then copy it in indicator folder of V7 in the .cs format and then compile it.

Of course you can stay with 6.5 as it will take sometime before V7 is out of beta stage.

D3Spotter Documentation

Sorry, the size of the documentation is greater than what I can post....

Send me an e-mail to [email protected] and I'll be happy to send it.

Guys,
I am experimenting with the code and I noticed that the CCI method: InitCCI() is placed before the Initialize and not together with the other methods in the Initialize section. Is there a reason for that?

I can't comment on Why this programmer chose to order their code the way they did.

I can tell you that it makes absolutely no difference. Each Function / Method / Property definition is completely independant. You can cut /paste your methods into whatever order you like to make it easier for you to find & read your code.
Two common approaches are :-
1. Alphabetically (but usually all Properties & methods are grouped together)
2. By Functional Proximity. Ie: One Major Method, then all the smaller private helper functions iet calls. Then another Major Method & its functions.
The idea is to save you scrolling.


(Of course changing the order of the lines within each method may dramatically change the logic of the method. not a good idea)
Hope this helps

Try removing any older version of the D3Spotter and it associated assembly, then try loading it again.
