Creating a Simple Binary Indicator

[darvasboxes]

Hi I'm very new to NT, just downloaded it.

Currently I am using Probuider of IG Markets (a programing language that very similar to BASIC). I have a custom binary indicator in Probuider.

Can anyone help to convert it NT code?

Thanks in advance!

Below is the code:


MA=Average[20](barrange)
Cn=barrange<=1.62*MA[1]
Count=summation[10](Cn)=10 OR summation[10](High>Low)<8

IF Count=1 THEN
Binary=0
ELSIF Stochastic[5,3](close)>70 OR Stochastic[5,3](close)<30 THEN
Binary=1
ELSE
Binary=Binary
ENDIF

RETURN Binary

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Will consider your suggestion to find a suitable consultant.

One more question,
In fact, I'd successfully created a simple custom indicator and compiled it without any error.

The problem now is, I am unable to load this new indicator while opening a chart.
This custom indicator didn't show in the indicator list.

Please help.

Thanks again.

darvas,

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 where you can find the error locations.

• From there you have the option to remove the indicator or debug it.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the error with the name and description fields clearly readable.

To send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CRTL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Hi Adam,

Compiling - NO error.

The problem is,
Now load a chart but I can't find this custom indicator in the list. So can't attach it in my chart.

darvas,

Please navigate to My Documents / NinjaTrader 7 / bin / custom / indicator

This is where indicators should be located. All indicators with an @ symbol before them are system indicators. Please try to find your indicator there. Its possible it no longer exists.

Please let me know if you find it.

Able to find it, pls see the attachment.
The name of the indicator is CL1

But I am unable to use it to attach into my chart.

darvas,

Could you post this indicator .cs file here? Alternatively you could send an email to support at ninjatrader dot com with ATTN : Adam in the message body and I can work with you over email instead.

I look forward to helping you resolve your issue.
