Hello NT8 indicator development team

I found an indicator at ninjatraderecosystem.com

however, the issue it's in folder with list of other indicators and templates that i don't want but when import the zip file it bring them all and some replace default indicators.

deleting those indicators within zip file won't help they will be back, pulling this indicator out of the group also won't help NT8 doesn't recognize it. any solution?

Best Wishes

Hello futureszone,

Thanks for your post.

Please share the link to the indicator that you are referring to from the NinjaTrader Ecosystem User App Share so that I may investigate this matter.

I look forward to assisting further.

Hello futureszone,

Thanks for that information.

To accomplish this, you would download the ZIP file from the NinjaTrader Ecosystem User App Share page you linked. Once the file is downloaded, open the ZIP file > open the Indicators folder in the ZIP file> right-click on the SMMA indicator and select 'Copy'. Then, navigate to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/Indicators folder, right-click in the Indicators folder and select 'Paste' to paste the SMMA.cs file.

Once the SMMA.cs file is copied to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/Indicators folder, open NinjaTrader 8 > go to Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor. Click the compile button in the NinjaScript Editor toolbar to run a compile. If no compile errors are reported, the script has been successfully imported.

I have also exported the SMMA indicator to a ZIP file so that it could easily be imported by going to Control Center > Tools > Import > NinjaScript AddOn.

And, I added your vote to a feature request regarding implementing an SMMA system indicator to NinjaTrader. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-5553.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Let me know if I may assist further.

I have downloaded the SMMA.zip file and it works fine. The values of the plots I see in my databox are rounded to the nearest tick. Is there a way to get the values so they are NOT rounded ?

I suspect this part of the code is responsible -

-----------------------------

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
if(indicatorIsOnPricePanel)
return Instrument.MasterInstrument.FormatPrice(Instrument .MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize(price));

else
return base.FormatPriceMarker(price);
}
#endregion


Can I change something to remove the rounding ?

Hello DragonTamer,

Thanks for your notes.

Yes, FormatPriceMarker() is used to override the default string format of a NinjaScript's price marker values and RoundToTickSize() returns a value that is rounded up to the nearest valid value evenly divisible by the instrument's tick size.

If you do not want the indicator to round the value to the nearest tick size, you could comment out or remove the section of code you mentioned which is found in the Miscellaneous region in the SMMA indicator.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
