No stratergy alert panel? Than --> Strategy to indicator error

[Inter20]

Hi,

I'm running into a problem
First I made a strategy called TEST which shows arrows and gives an alert message + sends an e-mail. The strategy works.
Now i want to apply the strategy to several underlying stocks and place them in the market analyser which I Cannot do because it only accepts Indicators and no strategy's.

When i want to create a new indicator and copy the code from the strategy into it i encounter the problems.
first. when i saved the script and open a new chart, i cannot find the indicator anywhere in the indicator panel. Why does it not find the indicator that i made, did i named it wrong or copied the script wrongly?
Second Is there a possibility to place a strategy in the market analyser, OR is there an other panel or easy overviews were i can get all the signals and messages in one overview?

Regards,

Bas

There will be some additional modifications that need to be made when converting a strategy to an indicator.

The market analyzer will display Plot values. I see you are using arrows to generate signals. With the indicator version you would need to set a plot value that would indicate your signal state.

For example you might choose to have an Up arrow be represented with a 1, a down arrow represented by a -1 and no arrow as 0.

Begin by going to tools -> new NinjaScript -> Indicator -> after unlocking the script you can then paste in logic snippets from your strategy. Do not copy the entire file over but instead focus on OnBarUpdate() logic.

Then you will want to remove any sort of order logic from the script so that it can compile as an indicator.

Let me know if I can further assist.

Hi Lance,

Unfortunately I did not succeed.
What I did was the following:
Tools --> edit Ninjascript (open my strategy with the code) --> copied the code that I wanted
Than I selected Tools --> New Ninjascript --> Indicator --> Next and type in the name that I want to call my indicator --> Generate --> Paste the code as can be seen in the attached Image to this post --> Hit save.
Reload a new chart -->select indicator which is no were to be found in the drop-down list. But it can be seen if I go to Tools --> Edit Ninjascript (than i see the file)

When you say you saved the script did you press the compile button? Right click chart -> Compile
There will be a chime sound that plays if there are no errors.

After doing this does it show in your indicator list?

Hi Lance,

Now I tried to compile it because I did not do it last time.
Still there is one error message that I could not resolve by my self as can be seen in the image
Translation:
The Namespace NinjaTrader.Stratergy Already contains a definition for BasADX (which is a stratergy I made for the ADX indicator)
