Help! Indicator disappeared.

Somwhere in the process your logic is breaking. You just need to go step by step until you uncover the logic change that breaks your indicator.

The attached indicator works as expected. Please open a chart and apply this indicator to a default MACD indicator inthe same panel. I assume you will see diamonds.

Assuming you do, that means the core functionality is working. Then you can take this indicator and layer on your code step by step until it finally breaks.

Hi Richard Von,

Have you tried reinstalling the .NET framework yet? Your code works fine for Dierk, Ray, and me. It worked fine for you before too. This suggests to me there is something wrong with either your .NET install or your NinjaTrader install. Try uninstalling .NET, uninstalling NinjaTrader, reinstalling .NET, reinstalling NinjaTrader.

You can get the .NET framework here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Thank you both for your thoughtful help. I've got a real mystery for you.

First, I uninstalled Microsoft.NET 1.0 and 2.0 and NinjaTrader. Then re-booted. Deleted all brower history. Then downloaded and installed Microsoft.NET 2.0 and NinjaTrader.

Then installed the new DiamondTest indicator. Closed all charts, created a new chart, added new MACD and DiamondTest indicator. NO DIAMONDS?!?!? Changed the DiamondTest indicator to DrawSquare and squares appeared! Wow.

Went back to my indicator and changed diamonds to squares and they appear at the correct spots!!!

Then reloaded my stored templates with a variety of indicators and all work.

WHAT IS REALLY WIERD IS THAT ANOTHER INDICATOR USES DIAMONDS IN A DIFFERENT PANEL AND THEY APPEAR. I am afraid to change or recompile that one, but this is the real mystery.

I can limp by with the squares, but they are not as desirable and am concerned what else might go wrong if I depend on this software for my trading. I'd be happy to discuss this with anyone - email me a number to call if you like.

I know someone must be intrigued by this puzzle.

Sorry, I would not know what could cause that nor do we have any other reports related.

[Richard Von]

It seems to me that the problem must be in the compiler.

1) Another indicator compiled in the past and not changed does draw diamonds. I'm afraid to open it and re-compile because I think I would lose the diamonds.

2) The indicator that was working and now doesn't was one I modified and re-compiled.

3) The indicator you sent me had to be compiled here and did not work with diamonds but did with squares.

The question is where does the compiler reside and who would I go to find a way to correct or reinstall it?

Thanks,

Richard

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

This is the standard C# compiler. There is nothing we could do about it. As explained below I would not know what causes that. Sorry

[Richard Von]

Is the compiler loaded as part of NinjaTrader or is it resident separately on my computer from Microsoft?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

It comes with the .NET runtime from MS.

Thank you for your patient replies. I'll do my best to track that down and will post any success I find.
