Hello roland_nt,

Thanks for your post.

It is not possible to export a bar type using NinjaTrader 7 and must be created as a dll outside of NinjaTrader. (Since it cannot be exported using NinjaTrader 7, CliSecure cannot be applied)

NinjaTrader 8, will support custom bar types and these can be exported with CliSecure applied.

I have a client who wants to make a custom bar type.
I have the source and it works when imported as a zip file.
The zip file has the right structure and XML for a bar type.
The client would like to distribute it using Clisecure and such.
What is the procedure for using CliSecure on a bar type since it does not have OnInitialize() which is where the CliSecure stuff normally goes.
Also, does this need to be a .exe or can it be done as a .zip?
If .exe, can you direct me to a road map for making that.
