Exporting Price and Indicator Data from chart

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
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 always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select any indicator and double click on it (we need only to open and compile one script to see all compile errors for all files).
• 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 comment out offending code sections, remove the complete indicator or debug it to be able to compile again.

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 with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively 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 CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

All clear, thanks.

I receive the following message when attempting to import an indicator - I have not specified which file to import:

"You have custom NinjaScript files om your PC that have programming errors. These erros must be resolved before you can import a NinjaScript archive File."

Not sure how to progress. Thanks.

After you imported the .zip file, the .cs file will be placed automatically in the Documents-->NinjaTrader 7-->bin-->Custom-->Indicator folder.

All clear, thanks.

This link has a good overall view of importing:

https://www.bigmiketrading.com/wiki/trading-wiki/How-to-import-indicators-in-NinjaTrader

Basically, click on the 'attached files' box in my last post..

The file will download to your Downloads folder.

Then in Control Center, choose: File -> Utilities -> Import and go to the Downloads folder.

Remember, say 'no' to any import requests!

There are lots of posts in the Forum about importing files: if you google this, they'll show up.

Thanks again Arbuthnot. Slowly getting the hang of it.

Hello Farmer George,

You can import NinjaScript files at Control Center-->File-->Utilities-->Import NinjaScript.

Thanks Jason - so the .zip file will be recognised as having a .cs file?

Hi Arbuthnot,

Thanks for you efforts, appreciated. What's the best way of importing this into Ninja script? Thanks.

George, I'm attaching the indicator I used to do this. You can change the code referencing 'EMA' to anything you want.

When you import this, so 'no' to any other NT requests for import - or your system may fail!

Just open the output window, load this ind once imported, and it should work fine.

Thanks Arbuthnot,

I hadn't appreciated that I need to write some script in order to do that - I I thought there may be a way via the Control centre menus. I'll give it a go.

Thanks for that.How did you get the indicators values to the Output Window?

Hi George

I've just tested this so I know it works:

This is example of a line of code (for either inds or strats) that prints to the output window the EMA at each bar close:

Print(EMA(14)[0]);

This may output to many decimal places. These can be shortened using the ROUND function in Excel, which can truncate to as many decimal places as you wish.

Just seen this thread.

All I can add is that I've exported a lot of data (price and indicator levels) from NT to Excel through the expedient of printing to the Output Window, via Notepad and Word (to change things like paragraphs (^p in Word 'Replace') into tabs (^t in Word 'Replace'), then into Excel.

The analysis Excel can then undertake far exceeds anything NT can do on its own.

Hey Kog,

Ninjatrader_Matthew and I completed one today and now I can export batch instruments in Weekly timeframe through the Market Analyzer. Saves me hours and hours. Kick ass.

Thanks anyway!

How did you do that? Thanks.
