Error Importing Script

[Rmos22]

I tried copying the Heikin Ashi indicator from NT6.5 to NT7, compiled it and got errors. I decided to delete the indicator and Import a script file that I saw in this forum but then encountered this error message "Import Failed. The NinjaScript File may contain duplicate method name that already exists on your PC or there is a required file missing on either your PC or in the import archive." I'm not sure if deleted it right but I don't see the indicator anymore under Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator. I would appreciate any help.

Hello Rmos22,

Heiken Ashi is no longer supported as a custom indicator.

It's available as a custom interval type in version 7. To access, Right Click on your chart > Data Series. Highlight a series and change "Type" to HeikenAshi.

Something is wrong with the way Heikin Ashi is displaying bars as opposed to
regular tick bars. There are far fewer bars displayed using interval type HA.
From the attached screenshots it appears that the discrepancy happens only
after a new session line break (black dash bar). I have to obesrve this further
tomorrow real time during the morning session.

This is an issue we're currently looking into for NT7 latest beta, thanks for posting.

This "Heiken Ashi Custom" indicator is in the "Indicator" section of the forums.

It is great, but only compiles in 6.5. Maybe someone knows how to make it work / compile in NT7?

Hi Thomas,

HeikenAshi will not be supported as a custom indicator in NT7. You would likely need to make your own custom code chages. See here for the code breaking changes in NT7.

For version 7 HeikenAshi is available as a custom interval type.

To access: Right Click on your chart > Data Series. Highlight a series and change "Type" to HeikenAshi.

yea, but I'm having same problems as others. see Bertrands comments in this thread

I'd like to use the "Heiken Ahshi Custom" from the "Indicator" forum and adapt it to NT7, but my C# skills are not so sharp.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Thomas, those issues are not comparable - the custom code you had for 6.5 needs most likely a rework for NT7 to make it compatible, if you're not into coding a NinjaScript consultant would be able to help.

For using the Heikin Ashi as chart type as we have now per default in NT7, here's a solution to prevent the opening session issues as discussed in this thread - create a full session for the week spanning for example Monday open to Friday close (Tools > Session Manager).

Then use the Heikin Ashi charts in NT7 combined with this custom session and it should not give you the reset at session begin effects as previously seen.

Thanks

Here are three attachments:

1) Custom session template Sun-Fri
2) HA 2000 tick es using this custom Sun-Fri template
3) HA 2000 tick es using CME Index ETH template

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

The use of HA charts with ticks is an issue we're currently looking into for NT7 latest beta.

I was just following Bertrands instructions from a few posts back. I'll await the fix.

unable to load script in NT 7

Hello,

I have downloaded NT 7 on two desktop computers. However when i try to import a ninja script it wont load on one of them. the other computer loaded fine, i just had to make one adjustment after i loaded it. I get error, "you have cusotm ninjascript files on your PC that have programming errors. These errors must be resolved before you can import a ninjascript archive file."

Its the exact same script on both computers. How can I work around this?

TIA

Hello Brian B,

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader compiles all indicators and strategies- not just one.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select an indicator and double click on it.
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window a new section will appear were you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to remove the indicator or debug it.

Let me know if this does the trick for you.

Script Errors

Hi Chris,

I did as posted and these are the results. I also have NT 6.5 and NT 7 64OS on this computer, dont know if that is a problem. I am also running windows 7 on this computer. The other computer that works fine is windows XP 32 bit and I had installed an earlier beta NT 7 on there then upgraded to Beta 14. Hope this helps, thanks
